Yep, still on our must do list, we were crossing east to west on the Gary Junction Rd. I think it'll have to wait until we get a truck based camper. Don't think I want to tow on the Canning, & my body is past sleeping on the ground.

Back in mid 2014 when I went north--diesel
Hervey Bay $1.60
Weipa $1.66
Bamaga $2.56 except 15c discount every 2nd Thursday according to some other travellers.
After filing up at Weipa, I got back to Musgrave roadhouse before heading west along New Dixie track to Walkers Creek.
Must do that trip again one day.
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

Mate I towed a camper trailer as did one other on the trip.Neither of us had a problem . Ran tyres at 15 to 18 PSI .
I have been looking at towing my caravan down it , and with the TRY HARD. My van is around 1800 to 2000 Kgs and yes I might get stuck on a couple of the bigger hills but I have a system where I can disconnect the van and tow it on a long tow rope if necessary. Have done it on a couple of trips where folks have gotten a little bogged with campers and vans on. Works pretty well. I dont think that you would have too many problems

Hmmm, may have to give it some more thought. Might have to start talking to a 4wd'ing couple we know in Kununurra to see if they fancy a Canning trip in '23.
