Travelling from Porcupine
Gorge to
Barcaldine end of the month. (July) I see the road from Prairie to Barky is black dirt but from Torrens Creek is sealed. Who has travelled either recently and can inform conditions. TIA

Go a bit further east than Prairie to Torrens Creek then turn south sealed all the way to
Barcaldine.

I drove to Torrens Creek Rd from
Barcaldine last week and it is a good sealed road. Easy to sit on 90-100k/hr.

I drove
Barcaldine to
Hughenden 3 days ago on the shortest most direcroute, which had about 200km of dirt from
Muttaburra to
Hughenden. The road was excellent the southern half I sat on 80km/hr out of caution, the northern half I went to 90km/hr towing our small hybrid van. It's clay based, so nice and smooth, but a definite no no on any rain.
The
Muttaburra to
Barcaldine section had plenty of Brenner's road trains,. A
Muttaburra local told me it's good two lane bitumen to Praire, probably why the road trains use it The road from
Hughenden to PorcupGorge was good bitumen as
well.

Hi kebab 9
Just travelled up from
Barcaldine,
Aramac to Torrens Creek.
Road a breeze. Bitumen all the way. Be careful on the edges when trucks come towards you. Bit soft in
places from rain Sunday night.
