Description of Tanami Rd, WA-NT Border
Camp area to the right when travelling east to west a few hundred metres off the road. Turn immediately before border sign. There are no facilities but area is level enough and room for a few travellers. Heard from others later on there is space to camp a bit further into the bush from this spot but unconfirmed.
The road detiorated on the WA side to corrugation and washouts acrosss the road at low spots, often with limited viewing or warning. Speed on the WA side about 80/90kmh, except for curves, ironed out the corrugations. The NT side was very good and able to travelled at reasonably high speeds. An indication is we left the Stuart Highway at 0800 and got to the Granites at 1400 with a look around Tilmouth and morning tea and usual stops.
