Is it still possible to get to Dragon Tree Soak and if so what sort of permits are required?

Probably a bit late on the reply but my apologies....been out travelleing :-) You may have already viewed these.
The area is situated in the midst of a paleo-drainage area which means that any extraordinary rain fall events make it impassable for months if not a year (such is the case this year).
It's a mean trip in and out but worth it if you can make it. Yajula (
Elizabeth Soak) is the jewel in the crown and pales DTS into insignificance as the below videos may attest.
If you goiver it a crack and enter via the
Mclarty Hills, make sure you spend some time in the McLarty's looking for art sites and the names of past
explorers engraved in the rocky
pinnacles.
(As an aside; our access was negotiated with the local T/O's by an intermediator. It came with a map of all the 1980's exploration cut lines and some bloody good stories!)

Thanks Mick,
It looks tough going, but very enjoyable. Did you do much vehicle damage?
