Artlunga via cattle water pass

Cattlewater Pass is closed, and has been for a number of years.

Yes I was in that area last year and wanted to do the same track. I was informed by the management at Gem Tree that the track was closed.
We headed towards Alice Springs on the Stuart Hwy and turned off at a sign post stating it was a tourist drive to Artlunga.
The road was corrugated and dusty but an interesting drive

Be aware that many of the roads out Boulia and Plenty Hwy area are currently closed, so any previous road conditions for roads you can drive will likely mean little with the flooding up that way currently

Cattlewater Pass was not suitable for caravans when it was open.

Back in 2017 we took the Binns Track which you can join from the Plenty Hwy 8 km east of Gem Tree. This leads to Pinnacles Bore where it joins the Arltunga Tourist Drive which branches off the Stuart Hwy. We were towing a Tvan and had no difficulty. If you are travelling that way consider stopping in at the Hale River Homestead. It has a small caravan park and some very flash accommodation as well as a cafe. The old town of Arltunga is definately worth visiting.
