Track from Tanami Rd to Christmas Creek is fine (2014 and 2016). It is regularly travelled by the locals from Billiluna and Christmas Creek (Watkangjunka). It crosses the land of Bulka Station and Yugawalla Station. For contacting them see //www.facebook.com/pg/Yougawalla-Bulka-Margaret-River-Stations-163390230442168/about/?ref=page_internal
Regarding travelling to DTS only one or maybe two options are left:
1. travelling southwest through Beefwood Downs approx 20 km southwest of Christmas Creek) until hitting the Mac Larty Track that goes west until it reaches the turnoff towards the Mac Larty Hills and then DTS. I only know of two cars taking this route more than 10 years ago. The drivers, experienced desert travellers, described it as difficult. On the Bing Satellite map this track up to the turnoff to the Mac Larty
Hill is still
well visible.
2. a better option is travelling southwest along the southern edge of the Edgar Ranges and then continuing towards the Mac Larty track as shown on the 250k Natmap. This track was taken by Equinox and Mick O. some years ago. For more
information contact
Dampier Downs.
The third possibility reaching DTS on the Anna Plains Track through Pegasus Oil
Well is not possible any more as it is heavily overgrown, and approching DTS from the south involves a longer distance of cross country travel.
Note also that the ground water level in the area is high so that after rain bogging is a real possibility.
Have a look at the Bing Satellite Map before travelling to DTS.
