Hi.
Hope to travel these Highways soon (next dry season) with a 19' tandem axle caravan (normal
suspension) most of my research has shown that the Tablelands Hwy is sealed but I am unable to find out if the Carpentaria Hyw is sealed
My intended trek will be Barkley
Homestead,
Cape Crawford,
Borroloola, King Ash Bay, Then return
Borroloola,
Cape Crawford,
Daly Waters
Any info regarding these Hwy will be much appreciated
Thanks Harry

As the others hace said, the Carpentaria is sealed, but is single lane so you need to move half onto the gravel if you meet someone coming the other way.
Last
Easter the road was in such a bad state that NT Roads instituted a one way system - travel east to west in the morning and west to east in the afternoon with no overnight travel permitted.
If you have a bitumen only van I suggest you contact the NT Roads people before you set out, just in case the road hasn't been properly repaired.
Nice drive though, and if you can leave the van and drive into
Lorella Springs you will love it!
