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.

within 100kms of Tanami Rd, WA-NT Border
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.

What Others Say about Tanami Rd, WA-NT Border
Thursday, 3 January 2008 Member - Chris R (NSW)
Despite relatively positive comments elsewhere on the Granites Mine and contribution to the economy,...
Despite relatively positive comments elsewhere on the Granites Mine and contribution to the economy, the mine has removed access to the attractive rock outcrops which are pretty much the only features of note in this area. So you are obliged to just keep driving.
The road in this area can be flooded for long distances. Our trip of April 2007 encountered 200 metres at about 60cm decending to 70cm for short distance. A bit daunting to the solo driver. Road conditions generally excellent.
