Oldbaz,
Normanton to Burketown sealed ?????

Regards

I query that too - is the Burketown to Normanton road really sealed?

Oops, sorry about that, but it may as well be sealed...no issues for any vehicle
or van.....oldbaz.

Hi "Lads" ....
The road from Gregory to Burky is fine, some roadworks in progress but no bad roads, watch for road trains as work is in progress at "Gregory Crossing" (Tirrana) ......
The road from Burky to Normanton is best taken via "short-cut" or at least more to see ....
From Burky go south/East, sealed road, and you will come across Leichardt river crossing and falls, nice spot to stop and look at and a bit further on, about 70klms from Burky, turn left on to a GRAVEL road ... sorry cant remember the name but is well signposted and that will take you past a Burke & Wills camp site (site is 2klms in from the gravel road and VERY rough, NO c/vans..) and on to Normanton, the shortcut road is ALL gravel but suitable for caravans (good ones as there are 2 van wrecks on the roadside) ....

We caravanned thru in 2009 and agree with what Joe n Mel posted: except for the "Burke & Wills camp site (site is 2klms in from the gravel road and VERY rough, NO c/vans..) " and while yes the 2km in is just a track on black clay it's no real problem for a van if taken steady AND you have a bit of clearance, at least it wasn't in 2009 on our way back down from the Cape, we took our van in no problems, just a couple of wash away areas to negoitiate thru where you may scrape the black clay if you don't have a bit of clearance. ENJOY

Thanks Graham & Anne, we went in there a few weeks ago and it has been a big wet here this year so those wash outs may have washed out a bit more now, just be careful with ya vans :-)
