Boulia to Birdsville - road Conditions

Hi Old Soldier

Use this site. Go to the "On the road" button at top of page. The Road conditions
Then Queensland and then Outback Qld.

All it says is that the roads are Open. I know that here is some bitumen between Boulia and Birdsville as the Councils are upgrading the road in patches. Normally the gravel roads are quite good.

Dennis, it was pretty easy in July and some folks ahead of us were towing road vans on it without much trouble. Easy day.

G'day Dennis,

How's things? Was down in Birdsville mid-November, and road between Bedourie and B'ville is about 30% bitumen, 70% gravel. Gravel then was very good, but as there has been little or no rain to speak of since then, it may have started to powder up/corrugate.

Haven't been on Boulia/Bedourie section for ages, but it must be almost bitumen 70%/Gravel 30%.

Temps in this area at present have been pretty ordinary, 42-45, but cloudy this morning, and we had 2.2mm last night

Regards,
Bob.

G'day Bob, John & Willem,

Thanks for your replies fellers - your input is much appreciated.

Should be no problems.

regards

Dennis
