Hi All, I'm a very new member who'd like to tap into the wealth of experience that exists here. My husband and I are planning a trip for 8-12 weeks beginning in Sept this year and we are thinking of the following: Adelaide, Alice, Uluru, Great Central Hwy to Geraldton and then south around WA coastline and finally back to Adelaide via the Nullaboor. What I'm wondering is "Are we completely mad?" "Is this achievable in this time frame?" and "What do we need to know (particularly concerned about the Great Central Hwy) that we probably don't know?". We have a Navara and will be towing a 14ft Windsor Rapid on road model. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks everyone :)
1. Great Central Road from Alice to Geraldton - tough trip unless road has been graded just prior to travel - not really suited to your van. - The Navara if set up correctly should be OK.
2. The timing of your proposed trip Sept, Oct, Nov - is possibly three month's too late -wind direction, heat and wet seasons not best time to travel.
3. Time allowed quite do-able - depends on your trip from Alice to Geraldton.
4. In summary - It would require too muck luck to do it (particularly without back up vehicle/s) to guarantee safe incident free trip - Just my views

Thanks Possum. I'm very grateful for the advice. I'll keep thinking and consider other options as well given that I don't really want to spend the whole trip with my fingers crossed :)
