Brisbane to Darwin drive

You don't even have to go that far John ;)

Dalby to Chinchilla will kill the undercarraige if it is very low clearance. It has even been flagged by the Nationals as an election promise to fix it :))

Not wrong. Broke a spring on my camper on the highway 20Ks west of Roma a couple of years back. Bloody rough!

Erection promise? I'd like to see that!

If you've driven this vehicle from Melb to Bris then getting to Darwin will not be a problem. The road is fine, just a bit long between stops in places.

As long as you avoid dawn and dusk, wildlife should not be an issue.

"Do i need to be aware about any kinda animals in the out back ?"

The usual suspects like roos, emus, sheep, cattle etc. Just drive carefully and you should be OK.

"i heard north is dangerous to drive as it's so isolated and active wild life."

Who told you that rubbish? Wildlife is active all over the place not just up north. And yes - there are some long stretches of bugger all. But that doesn't make it dangerous - unless you do something stupid like driving too fast or too tired.

Three of us did the trip in the same car as you in 1965, but we started in Perth and finished my part of the trip in Sydney Enjoyed every moment . Skinny tyres and all, broke a spring in WA some where and did a roadside repair . I don't remember any tyre problems .

people have mentioned rough roads on the south western Qld route, and that may be so, but no need to go that way. Head up the coast, as far as Rockhampton if you like, then head west, and the roads are all fine.
