Does anyone know if the Cooper Developmental Road from Quilpie via
Eromanga to Noccundra is fully sealed? If not, how many kilometers are
still unsealed?

Reason for our question: We will be renting a 2WD campervan and rental
companies do not allow their 2WD vehicles to be driven on unsealed
roads.

Early March, we want to drive from Charleville via Quilpie, Eromanga,
Noccundra and Thargomindah to Cunnamulla.

We have a map [1], which is printed in 2005, which still shows part of
the Eromanga to Noccundra road - specifically part of the road between
Bellalie HS and Kihee HS - as unsealed, but a lot can happen in two
years, hence our question.

We have looked at the road with Google Earth and Google Maps, and those
also show unsealed parts, but we don't know from which year the satellite
data (which Google uses) is. (Does anyone know how to determine that?)

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

And they do! Good news! I contacted them via the "Contact us" form on
their website and already the next day I got a response: The road from
Eromanga to Nockatunga [1] is now fully sealed. The final link was only
sealed this year, so we are lucky!

So all is well.

Thanks again Kerry, for pointing me to the horse's mouth! And thanks
to PE (DD SW) of Main Roads!

[1] Nockatunga is the homestead on/near the turn-off to Noccundra, so my
question was really about the road from Eromanga to Nockatunga, instead
of to Noccundra (because the road from Nockatunga to Noccundra has been
sealed for a number of years).
