we are in Winton at the moment going onto Cloncurry sometime soon. Not sure if we should be waiting for these strong winds to disappear before heading off. I think they would be behind us pushing us on but is it safe to travel with a van in such winds. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The Karratha shire and state government have ruled that in the Karratha and Roebourne shires that the maximum stay @ places like Cleavaville will be 28 days only, so the GN'S that used to stay 3-4 months be aware before you plan your trip, cheers.
