I would love to check out Lawn Hill and surrounds but would be keen to hear about access. I have a Toyota Hiace Campervan and would come down from Karumba. Does one need a four wheel drive? Is the road sealed all or most of the way?

Hi, how is the road from Goulburn via Crookwell and Tuena to Blayney? Sharp curves? Steep? From googlemaps it looks to be completely asphalted. True? Caravan-suited? Thanks!
