Hi Shels
We too have a Troopy (
check my profile).
We spent 2-3 months there in 08 :-) Just raveling around.
What would be a reasonable time, mmm, absolute minimum of 2 weeks. It is 700km of dirt from the Stuart Hwy, will vary as to when the
grader was last through. Might be able to sit on 85-90 or you might be at 70 if flogged out. There is a nice little creek to
camp at on the way in that we found be accident when the store half way along the track was closed (the supposed must stay here if stoping place).
There are no proper maps, and you will get half arsed info about where to go, and that's the beauty of it! The Nomads just won't go there! (Sorry
grey power) :-)
It really is untouched, we hope to be able to go out there and work for a year in Nhulunby in a couple of years time so we can see more of it.
If you decide you are serious about changing your travel plans, message me and I can give you more details.
Lawn Hill is great , and despite what they say make sure you canoe up the second george as
well :-)
Cheers
Lyndon
PS, Good comms really are a must if you plan to venture of the beaten track, Sat Ph or HF. At the very least a PLB with in built GPS registered to your name.
