The Munja Track...who's done it, towing a camper trailer?

I'd be leaving your trailer at King Edward River crossing campground. It's a much nicer place to camp than Mitchell Falls anyway, and the track to the falls is a shocker (depending on when the grader's been through, but even then, it's only good for a couple of days.) I've done catastrophic damage on that track trying to tow a camper in, so last time we just camped at King Edward and drove up to the falls for a day trip. Leave early, two hour trip (80km) and you'll be back having a beer by the river by 5pm. Much easier. Camping at Mitchell Falls is okay if you don't mind a lot of dust and choppers in and out all day every day.

If you hadn't mentioned the never ending noise and dust from the choppers Greg, I was going to. Spoilt the whole place I thought. One on the ground picking up, one in the air and one at the falls so they provide plenty of revenue to those requiring it for access rights.....
As my legs won't allow me to walk as far as the falls I won't bother doing the track again but agree with leaving the camper at King Edward. Plenty of others do. Quite funny when we were there a couple or three years ago, there was a rigid truck there and a mob of people all being bossed about by a very "sergeant majorish built like a brick outhouse" woman you could hear everywhere. :o
Not sure what was worse, her mouth or the copters noise but at least she didn't kick up dust. :)

Jealous.

We drove to Walcott a few years back in 2 GQ Patrols with no problem. However we went very early in the season and there were areas of tall grass where you couldnt see the car in front and needed to run via GPS as the track became completely lost. this was before they took the dozer out there which they normally do before every season. If you go early as we did be very aware of the build up of grass stalks and seeds in the radiators and in every nook under the cars. constant checking and cleaning was required otherwise combustion could be a very real concern. use a grass sheild in front of the grill to stop your radiator becoming totally blocked. also found a few scrub bulls to keep an eye on as they tend to think they own the track.
cheers.
