In the current RAC Horizons mag an article about this road suggest that it is " easier to drive than you may think" which differs from information I have been previously given from other sources which suggests among other things that its a great way to wreck your caravan. Could some of you m...

Recently travelled from Gladstone to Kalpowar on the Boyne Valley Road. Did not actually go all the way to Monto but that is next "big town". The road was bitumen and fine to Many Peaks. Big change to when I was last there. This is an excellent drive to Many Peaks, but not suitable for caravans...

We're driving north from Sydney's eastern suburbs - which is the best way? Pacific highway at Artarmon, or lane cove tunnel/M2/pennant hills or M5/M7?

Major work on the Bruce continues - the road just out of Gympie is a bit torn up, and there are sections where traffic is slowed to 70km, with narrow lanes. This goes for about 5km south of Gympie, then again just north of the Kandanga/Imbil turnoff (Exit 244) about 20km south of Gympie to just north of Co...

Parachillna to Blinman SA. Only about 30 km, I'm wondering about the suitability of this road for travel in a motor home, i.e. creek crossings, corrugations etc. Our vehicle is a 4 ton Kea.

Change of scenery and a great road - go out to Cumborah and back. Sealed all the way and I think smoother than the main road! A bit further but a great free camp at Cumborah - leave the van and do the opal fields from there.

This road is great. Mostly flat, sealed all the way with lots of new seal. Very little traffic it seems. Shortcut to Nyngan instead of going via Bourke.

Road from Thargomindah, Eromanga, Windorah, Jundah, in and out of Stonehenge - all sealed now although just one lane much of the way but all good as very little traffic. Ignore the 'Dry weather only' sign on the southern Stonehenge road - needs updating as the road is now sealed all the way.

Dayboro then up Mount Mee yesterday. A steep winding slow road for about 6km out of Dayboro. Ok with the van - just dont try to hurry. Out into high lush farmland across the top then about 2.5 km of steep downhill before Woodford. Great drive but narrow. Would recommend south-north for the sake of your br...

Has anyone used the private road which is adjacent to the Karratha turnoff and runs to Tom Price and then through the two WA National Parks to come out near Newman? Apparently its a gold coin donation to use it, but not tar sealed - is if ok to tow a standard 'van down it, or is it too rough and what about throu...

Currently in Sapphire and would like to go via Rubyvale, Capella, Dysart, 'Cosmos' I think it is a property on the Fitzroy Dev. Road and then north to Mindi on the Peak Downs Highway and then into Mackay. I would like to know if all of the roads are sealed.
