Mt Augustus to Paraburdoo With Caravan

Over the Easter period the road was excellent. Some road works as you come into Mt Augustus created very deep bull dust. The Pingandy Dooley Downs Rd was the bit we travelled and as long as you read the signs and watch your speed you'll be fine. Some nice country through there. Ashburton Downs Stn no longer welcomes visitors, so the sign says.

When I was out there a couple of years ago, a couple were pulling a relatively old tandem axle van (on road) which was about 22 foot. They were pulling it with a 100 series. We met them at the Kennedy Ranges and after we got to Mt Augustus they turned up there a few days later. They were obviously taking it very easy and seemed to be having no troubles at all. They didn't stay at Mt Augustus, they kept going through on the Dooley Downs Road. As far as I can ascertain, they did it without incident. Conversely, a young fella in a work vehicle pulling a tandem axle trailer came into the station with two wheels only on the trailer. He blew the other two tyres on the trailer plus a spare coming in from Meekatharra. I didn't wonder why when I saw him driving into the park - like a bull at a gate. The moral as you always hear on this forum - slow and steady is the key. I think your friends will get through as long as you are all prepared to take it nice and steady.
