Track from Erldunda to Titjikala

You don't have to go all the way back to Alice Steve. The Hugh Stock Road is viable short cut.

As far as I know, you cannot get permission to cut through the station tracks. You son may be well placed to contact the relevant stations to find out if special permission can be granted.

Steve,

Just got back last night from our trip through that area.

Can't help with the first part of the question, Erldunda to Titjikala (Maryvale), but can on the last part.

2 weeks ago we travelled the opposite way, Mt Dare to Finke, then to Maryvale, Chambers pillar onto Alice Springs.

The road from Titjikala to Finke is very very sandy with lots of bull dust after the Finke race. The heavy going starts north of the Bundooma siding ruins and ends just before Finke.

I took my time (towing a off road camper trailer) avg 50 km/h in high 4x4.

From Mt Dare to Dalhousie, take the road towards Bloods Creek for 20 km, then Straight into Dalhousie, less rock and corrugations then the direct route.

Fuel in this area is around $2.20 - $2.30 Lt., diesel

The sand is a beautiful deep red through that area.

Enjoy your trip,

Mtb

As someone said, HRS is the public access rd to Maryvale. Or he could ring Idracowra about access, but good luck.
And from Maryvale South you just head out to the Finke track on either the main Alice Springs/Deep Well rd and turn right at Rodinga, or one of the tracks that come out near Bundooma tank .............ask a local which track is the one to Bundooma.
