Hi
I am advised that the road to
Quandong Beach is recommended for 4wd.
My question is will my "high ground clearance" off road van make it in being towed by a very capable High lift Patrol with an experienced driver at the wheel OR is the sand just too soft for the rig ?
Some 4wd recommendations are just to be prepared for bad conditions in bad weather. Having never been there I call upon some wise heads that know this road.

Yeah you'll be fine mate.
BUT, you will get harrassed by the feral protestors that will be back out there in droves. Idiots who have no idea what they are protesting about. Forest Rescue have offered all ferals down south free flights to
Broome to come and protest.
So make sure you have a rifle with plenty of bullets. And heaps of air freshener. Or just plenty of water and soap. That scares the crap out of them.
They dont actually
camp at
Quondong, but at the
intersection to the
Cape Leveque road, and further up near Prices Point.
But they regularly make there way up and down, abusing anyone they wish and spreading false information. They are a pathetic bunch.

Hi ,
The track up to
Quondong can be handled by an experienced driver. The road does get corrugated and does have some narrow sandy patches. The actual
Quondong campsites and access tracks can be tight and have washouts.
I would suggest do a reccie first to chose the prefered track and site.
In fact have a bit of drive further on as there are better spots to set up.
It is very soft and muddy at the moment.

The problem with doing a "recce" is that by the time you get back with the van
the spot is occupied.
We have camped at
Quondong 3 times now, right on the point which is too tight for large vans.
Great spot for a couple of days fishing, you wont have it all to yourselves though.
