Road conditions - Mt Ive station to Minnipa, and alternative to Kimba

Hi,

We are hoping to stay at Mt Ive station next week, traveling from Iron Knob and would like current road conditions on either of the roads I have named above for when we leave to return to the Eyre Highway a few days later.

Haven't rung the station to check whether they have had rain in the past couple of days as much of SA has had, as I am aware that this will close the roads for a period of time, but plan to do this tomorrow so we can change our plans if necessary.

Just thought someone on EO might have current information they can add, as when i last spoke to the station they hadnt traveled the roads mentioned above for a while. Would like to know not just about whether corrugated, sandy or stony but also whether there are low branches or narrow sections where we would have difficulty towing caravans...Both vans have reasonable ground clearance, and we know to reduce tyre pressure and slow down.

thanks Heather
