No................. haven't been that way for a while

Here is the Qld Road report you didn't want

The Kennedy Developmental Road Hughenden to the Lynd is open to all vehicles with care. (09/05/11)

So I guess your rig should be able to make it through if you drive to conditions

Hello everyone. My first post on Exploroz.
We travelled Hughenden to The Lynd 3 weeks ago and the road was fine. 20cm water over the river crossings, road being graded at the time and scenery just wonderful. Enjoy!!!!

Hi Karen,

Welcome to the forum.

Interesting reading about this road.

We found a scratch on a map back in 1999 which turned out to be the Kennedy Development Road.

We travelled north from Longreach the day it opened in May 99 after it had been closed for weeks. Great scenery but slippery as an ice rink.

We camped in a stockpile site maybe 60km south of Lynd Junction. After seeing nothing all day we had about 3 million cattle trucks come past after we had made camp.

Hi Jack, we came through there about a week ago, no problems. You will be fine with your Car/camper. Cheers, Kanga.

Did it at Easter , Home [Muttaburra] to Hughenden up the Lynd then Innot Hot Springs then to Port Douglas and return , no problems , has been no rain of any significance since so dirt has not been chewed up as such.
