Permit for eastern end Garry Junction Rd ?

Thanks Sig, probably the same process (and free) as per Madigan permits we just got for upcoming drive :)
I'll jump on the CLC site and have a look through.

Yep.

Was looking at Glen Helen, Haast Bluff, Papunya, north then west to Newhaven a few weeks back but rain got in the way.

Rain.
Yeah this is a back up plan if Madigan is inaccessible in a couple of weeks.
Split, go up there solo, so some walking / peak bagging.
Mt Liebig, Giles, Sonder, maybe Razorback while there, time permitting . . . NT peaks 2, 3, 4
Already got #1 Zeil :)

Cheers mate, the hema 250k or central Aust maps should be ok ?
Pretty sure I can wing it.

Looking wet up there !!
More rainfall just north of Finke, but still could be a problem getting in.
We won't know until we get there perhaps, though Bob Y is headed over from BV on an SA crossing right now, and then going up to do Madigan from west to east back to BV.
He is 6 days in front of us from Old Andado, but probably won't be able to get any updates from him, unless I call his sat phone :)

Yeah you should be able to figure it out with your bush walking nav experience. But the Hemas were poor out there. I had them, the old Natmaps as PDFs as well as Oztopo 6 for Garmin (2013 source data) and had a confidence level of about 6/10 in identifying alternative routes to the flooded one.

Could be interesting hey ?
I am really hoping Madigan access will be ok through the western parts, so in reality the West Macs alternative trip is probably less than 50/50.
Could be that there has been too much rain out through western part of west macs to access, might have to be happy with the main area out by Ormiston / Redbank.
Thanks again Sig, have info to get permit out of Alice if I do end up there, but here's hoping Madigan is a go.

Good luck with it Les.

Hiya mate, just back this arvo and plan B to centre wasn't needed, Madigan was all good for access, though BV TkLake Harry to Marree yesterday was really bad, as too our only exit via William Ck / Coober Pedy Rd, also yesterday late.
I did nearly 900km yesterday, and it wasn't fun believe me.

Plenty rain but people saying not much water in Lake Eyre .People stranded at William Creek ..Where are you now cheers

HOME :)
Wow, yeah was very hard going down the track and loads of things happened.

I'll post up in new thread here to get this little part of the story out !!
