Can anyone tell me anything about this road. Has anyone been on it recently and what sort of road is it? We are travelling with a 200 Series Cruiser and a Bushtracker caravan. I would be grateful for any information please.

Bob.
Presume you are coming from the Alice end of the Tanami?
Just remember Rabbit is shut.
The Tanami Access Road through to Lajamanu is generally in good to fair condition with track varying from clay to sand and
rock with everything in the middle.
The road from Laj to Kalk again is generally in good condition but remember you are coming after the wet so the
grader may not have got out yet. Usually April May.
Its a good trip with some interesting country.
Give us a yell when you get to Kalk.
Cheers
Greg

Hi Greg, yep we will be coming up from the Alice. We won't be in any sort of hurry so can take it as easy as the track dictates. Can you tell me how many km's it is from the Tanami to Kalkarindji?
Will definitely let you know when we get to the end of the track.
Cheers
Bob

Round figures it is about 230km from the Tanami turnoff to Lajamanu then about 115km from Laj to Kalk.
There is fuel at both Laj and Kalk with a great store at Laj.
Where are you heading after Kalk?

Thanks Greg, really appreciate the info. I take it you are a local? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that track is pretty much all on aboriginal land in which case is there anywhere you can
camp?

Bob
Been out this way for a short time!
There are
places that you can
camp along on the Tanami Access Road but I would't along the Laj Road.
There is a campground/caravan park at Kalk.
Message me if you like and we can have a chat.
Cheers
Greg
