💡 Good to know
- The supported dry-season product window. Access is never assumed: check Main Roads, both shires, park alerts and each station or roadhouse before entering every side road.
- This complete gorge itinerary is not generated from October through April. The trunk road may sometimes be open in October or November, but gorge roads, parks, stations and services are not held by this product and rain can make unsealed roads impassable.
