Condition of Mulga Park Rd from nr Curtin Springs to Sturt Hwy?

I have driven Curtin Springs to Kulgera via Mulga Park on several occasions over the years in vehicles including Minis, a VW Kombi and 4WDs.
The road carries relatively little traffic and that usually means that its condition is OK.
No, you can not get closer to Mt Connor without permission from the property owner.
I would have no hesitation in spending a night along the way, but only close to the road.

The conditions were not so good in 1974, the year of the BIG wet.

I travelled that way solo about 6 years ago with no problems. Yes you can get out at Kulgera & No you can't access Mt. Connor
From memory it was a drive in the park, but it was dry. Rain might make it a little difficult.
It's a great trip with views of Mt Connor you normally wouldn't see from Lasseter Hwy.

In addition to the preceding replies, you can book a tour out to Mt Conner at Curtain Springs roadhouse. It is well worthwhile, IMO.

I don't think the Sturt Higway is near Curtin Springs or Mt Connor.
The Stuart Highway runs closer.



PS The Sturt Highway is an Australian national highway in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. The Sturt Highway is an important road link for the transport of passengers and freight between Sydney and Adelaide and the regions situated adjacent to the route.

Hi RobMac, As others have already answered, yes you can drive the Mulga Park Rd. from Curtin Springs to the Stuart Highway. We have done so on several occasions, the last time was 2 years ago. We camped about 200m off the road near some cattle yards.


The road can be corrugated, so drive to the conditions. Keep an eye out for traffic joining the road at intersections, the locals do not always look or slow down or keep to their own side of the road. The friends we were travelling with clipped the rear end of another car as it came careening out of a side road onto the Mulga Park Rd. Fortunately the bullbar on the front of my friends Navara took the impact extremely well. It was a glancing blow to the bullbar, but destroyed the other cars right rear tail light.

It is 242 kms, we sat on 75 - 80 kms/Hr for most of it, so should take you about 3 - 4 hours, depending on the road conditions.

Macca.

Guys, sorry for the spelling mistakes (fat finger syndrome) but generally everyone understood what I meant, especially since I mentioned Mulga Park Rd. Don't think there would be too many roads with that name. Yes, I did mean the Stuart Hwy as well.

cheers for the replies, if we have the time we will probably try and travel along this road for something different...
