Hi all we are planning on going to Griffith next week via the newell and would appreciate any tips on the state of the road, steep hills and good places to stop. Our rig is 19m long and she hates any hill work. We await your advise cheers

Had trouble finding anything up to date on the section on road but went ahead and did the run from Goondiwindi to Tenterfield and then on to Lismore. We tackled it in an NT pajero diesel towing a 21ft van about 2300kg loaded. The section through to Tenterfield was narrow and not without badly damaged sec...

Can anyone tell me what the road is like between Thallon and Dirranbandi? Heading that way in about a week. Not sure if it is dirt or bitumen now.

Can anyone provide some recent info on the road conditions between Nockatunga and Tibooburra? Would I be able to tow an On Road Caravan with care? Thinking of travelling this way to South Australia via Broken Hill, next month.

Will be heading this way in 4 weeks and just wondering if anyone has driven on it recently and can update me on the condition as it is meant to be a major off-road. Will be towing a small off road caravan but if its going to be too rough may just continue on the Great Northern Hwy.

Query on the road conditions in the next few days from Coonabarabran to Pilliga and then onto Burren Junction and then onto Collarenebri and Mungindi. Is Pilliga and Burren Junction definitely pet friendly? Are their fees? thanks cobberandco

We originally planned to travel this road as we heard a rumour that it had been sealed. It isn't sealed, it is corrugated, rough and dusty. We regret towing our van over it, now busy cleaning dust out of everywhere!

A disgrace to Queensland. Very rough and considering the number of trucks using it I would expect it to be better looked after

Travelled the Kidman way from Goolgowi to Bourke. A great road, good surface. My only gripe is the lack of rest areas along the way.

I have only included the roads I travelled on in May 2014 from Mullewa to Murchison and Gascoyne Junction (dirt and river crossings) and later from Gascoyne Junction out to Kennedy Ranges. There were also lots of washaways and deep gutters caused by water crossing the road. I checked at Mullewa...
