steep
mate the track conditions change all the time so you will need to ask a bit closer to june.
I was there in early dec and the track was very good, there is only one hill you need to power on and that is when your coming out,
Have a great trip!

Check with the ranger before
Check with the ranger before you go mate. Track was pretty good when i went up in September. Before the causeway is pretty corrugated but apart from that its all good.
With tyre pressures, the sign recommends 18-20 psi but i'd start at 18 as a minimum and look at going to 16 psi. Trailer will be lower than that as well.
Just take it slow and enjoy the scenery. You'll be right :)
Cheers,

Just went up a few weeks
Just went up a few weeks ago.
Track in is very easy. Just the first hill after the causway you will need to give it some stick.
I towed a 2.25t trailer up there and got up fine, just a bit of speed.
Make sure it is all strapped down tight! for that hill.
The rest is a piece of cake.
I also went up in April and the track hadn't changed so you should be right.
