From the mines to Laj can be interesting with a few creek crossings depending on the recent rains. From Laj to Kalkaringi (Wave Hill) is an easy drive. Many of the local land owners do the run in utes.

Like all roads in that part of the world, weather may play a role. Otherwise, I doubt you would even use 4 wheel drive. Just take it easy and keep an eye out for cattle.

No permit required, but Lajamanu police do like to know if you are travelling on that road.

if you need fuel at Lajamanu, the bowsers close at 12 noon. Kalkarinji is a better option for fuel.
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
