The
Border Track goes for quite a long way and it depends which section you are refering to. The popularly referred to section is from Pinnarroo to Bordertown which incorporates a 1 way section with a couple of reasonably steep dunes.
The main issue is that that section is closed during the fire ban period (don't quote me but I think until April??).
The track gets quite tight in
places (scratches) and does have some bog hole / muddy sections if it has been raining. As mentioned most of the bigger dunes have chicken tracks but the last few times I was there they were trying to close them off. Not sure how far this has gone.
Even without a trailer there have been numerous times I have had to reverse back down the dunes for another go and I wouldn't want to try it with a trailer behind. (perhaps you are a backing expert but I'm not).
Some will probably scoff at me but I have been over Big Red and I suggest there is a dune on the
Border Track that isn't perhaps as long (and momentum sapping) but is close to as high (ie steeper) and it has a kink in it that isn't a real problem going up but may be a bitch if you are backing a trailer back down!
The sections above Pinnarroo and below Bordertown should cause no problems. Perhaps scratches is all due to being overgrown.
Hope that helps
