Savannah Way Borraloola to Limmen NP

We went through about a month ago.

From Borraloola the Ryan's bend road it a lot shorter than going via Cape Crawford.
Southern Lost City is a great must see (camping possible there)
Butterfly Springs is a nice camp (however there was a dead animal in the swimmingpool which is the only recognized croc safepool in the park)

Be sure to dump trailer at Ranger station grab the key and do a day trip to Western Lost City

Tomato Island and Roper bar were full of fishing camps with boats and generators (they were turned off by 9.00pm)

Near Towns river you will cross over a new mine haul road. Dual lane bitumen going from up near Roper Bar across to Bing Bong. (You can only cross it - not use it)

Enjoy

I'd suggest you consider camping at Southern Lost City rather than Butterfly Springs. It was much less crowded when we were there a few weeks back + the Butterfly Springs toilets were unbelievably on the nose. It wouldn't surprise me if some drongo had dumped the contents of his/her chemical dunny in and killed the system.

As for the road, you shouldn't have any problems.

Haven't been that way for a while, but Butterfly Springs was a beautiful spot. About 2.5 hours north is a little place called Rocky Bar Crossing (search in EOz Places). A short trek off the road (not sure how off road the van is), but a great little spot. Shady, on a river and some very old (I assume) petroglyphs there. We loved it with the kids. Some freshies in the waterhole so I wouldnt swim, but a great place to prop for a few days.

Cheers,

Matt.
