Tanami to Kunawarritji

Hi Motherhen,

You have again answered my question as you have done before. I thank you for that. The brother and I have left Mackay in July and travelled the Plenty and onto the Gun Barrel, and did the Cannning to Halls Ck. Travelled to Wyndham before heading home via the Gregory National Park and Burketown to Dunbar and onto Mareeba. I’m just looking to do another trip in a year or so via the Gary Junction Rd, to do the west and on to the Gibb River Rd. Just finding out what permits are needed and who to pay. As well as get the travel dates to them, so as to not get into trouble with the law. I’ll get all the info together and give the correct people a ring and get the right permits, thanks again and hope to meet you on the road some time.

Regards Ray

Thanks Ray. Sounds like you have had an amazing trip. As a Western
Australian, we have limited roads to get out of the state, and Gary Junction was the most enjoyable. You can read My Blogs 2009 about it and follow relevant links. The road has been improved in places since our trip, but it was in much better condition due to less use than the Great Central Road. Similarly I have Blogs 2008 on the Gibb River Road trip.

Cheers, MH

Hi Mick,

No I didn’t check the trip planing articles on Exploreoz, didn’t know about it but I do now, thanks again.

Regards Ray
