Road conditions

kw · kw

Hi all, just after a little advice. We will be staying at Tintaldra early April for a few days and would like to take the van up to Jindabyne for a few days also. I am a little concerned though at no being sure of the steepness or road conditions. I am pulling a 17.5Ft pop top with a 2.5litre Auto 2w...

Well the good news is that the road is being graded, looks like a band aid job but better than nothing.

We are in an Isuzu Elf and will be driving from Wollongong to Newcastle. In such a vehicle (small truck) is it best to by-pass Sydney suburbs or just bite the bullet and do the Sutherland, Sans Souci, Harbour Bridge, Chatsoood, Pacific Highway to the Kalga Ourimba freeway trick? I haven't driven tha...

We are planning to travel from Huskisson to Canberra early next year. We are wondering which route to take that will place the least amount of stress on the vehicle for the climb up the range. We aren't seeking the shortest route just the least stressful. Any suggestions?

Stratman77 · Stratman77

I feel the climb up the range here is one not to be done unless you have plenty of grunt as it is a long, unrelenting climb up and no easy trip down on your brakes. I suggest you park the van at the freecamp at Thora which is Ok, and drive up for the day. There are much worse climbs, I'm sure, but this one is not goi...

Thought I'd mention that today we travelled from Batemans Bay to Canberra and back again, up the Clyde and the Kings Highway. Only one spot with roadworks on the Clyde, the rest of the works seem to be competed for now and the road is good. On the return journey, no roadworks in progress at all - a good tri...

Just thought I would remind people that SA now has fire restrictions in place with the Fire Season being brought forward due to dry conditions, so when you park please leave your matches in the van, you could be fined or worse you could cause a bush fire. Remember your fire can be in control and still star...

Can anyone recommend a good towing route (with a 24' van) travelling Melbourne to Batemans Bay (departing Aug 2014)? Some folks have suggested Yass, Bungendore, Braidwood although I hear that Kings Hwy is undergoing significant road works. With a long and heavy load, (where possible) we are loo...
