Georgie,
The site Baz mentioned is Bengeacca Creek, about 500 metres of creek frontage, quite a bit of shade and plenty of room to pick a site. Not too sure if there'd be much water in it this year?
Another
camp is at the Georgina
River crossing, where there should be water, but it too could be very popular. Probably other camps available around this spot too, that I've forgotten about.
We camped at Bengeacca Ck, left there about 9.30, and got to Gem Tree close to 5pm. This included lunch near Cockroach
Bore, a ice-cream at Jervious and numerous Kodak moments.......at NT border, near Tarlton Downs and also close to the impressive Harts Range.
Gem Tree was good, camped amongst the mulga trees, and very quiet, even though it was crowded. If you stop there shower early, as there may not be hot water after dark. :-( Great bird life the next morning, all very friendly, and a couple of species we'd never seen before.
There is an alternative
camp, on the right, maybe 4-5 kms past the Sandover turnoff too.
