Hi All,
We are doing the big loop from
Brisbane to
Darwin (via many detours including
Nhulunbuy), then to the
Kimberley then down the coast of WA as far as
Carnarvon. We then want to come back to
Brisbane via
Alice Springs.
Any suggestion of how to get to Alice from
Carnarvon? I know this is pretty open but just looking for ideas. Originally thought the gun barrel but we are only 1 vehicle.
Rob.

We did the Gunbarrell in 2010 with our 19' Bushtracker also a single vehicle trip. Single vehicle is OK if
well maintained and prepared and you have either sat phone of HF. Water was available at three of the four bores equipped with handpumps when we went through.
Corros are bad but drop our tyre pressures and take it easy - smell the roses etc. Magic trip.

If you want to head a bit further north again, the
Gary Junction from
Marble Bar to
Alice Springs is a lovely drive and the road less used so less corrugated than roads like the Great Central or Tanami. See My Blog from 2009.
