Wilcannia to Charleville

WhereiS uses speed limits as well as the road conditions to calculate travelling times. Take the hint with what you have just seen, go the extra 100 km (unless you are after the adventure.)

The same sort of trip calculations can be made via Google Maps. When you use that, you can use the street view to look at the road surface (if the camera car has been there.) Just turn the street view around to look up and down the road. If the camera car has not been there then its probably going to be a little rugged.

I have only travelled sections of that road, around White Cliffs and also North of Hungerford but they are fully formed graded unsealed roads, the condition of which is dependant on the last rain and grader visits. Provided they are in reasonable order I can't see why you could not sit on your 90-100. Perhaps call Wanaaring Police for an up to date road report.

Hi,

The run you are looking at is dirt and long. There has been a lot of water through there during the last 12 months, or so, and has affected a lot.

I did Eulo to Hungerford on Monday this week. Most parts are in good condition and it's easy to sit on 80 - 90 kph. Hungerford to Wanaaring would be pretty much the same but Wanaaring to Willcania has been closed for much of the year, so I couldn't tell you what the condition of the road and average speeds would be.

Central Darling Council cover that area and they could tell you what it's like. Ph (08) 8083 8900 and email council@centraldarling.nsw.gov.au, though emails seem to take a while to get a reply, if at all.

I hope that helps,
