We are thinking of doing this tour later this year and I'm planning our route. We'll go north up the
Ooldea Rd but would like to return via
Watson on the Trans line and then south down to the Eyre hwy. ExplorOZ calls this the
Maralinga via Nullabor Roadhouse Rd. Does anyone know the condition of this track and/or requirements for permits. I've emailed
Maralinga to seek their help too.

Just got a reply from
Maralinga Tours saying the road is doable. That's good enough for me!

From
Maralinga Village, it’s bitumen all the way down to
Watson.
From there south it’s a single, slow track but easy, with sections of
limestone on the track.
When you eventually reach the
Old Eyre Highway, turn right and it’s only a short drive to the
Nullarbor Roadhouse.

We drove from
Watson to
Disappointment Cave, then turned SE in 2018.
You need a permit from
Yalata for the last bit.
South of Watson.
Cheers,
