Telfer Road

This desert route is suitable for towing offroad caravans from Alice Springs to the North West of WA.

Hi travelers.

We're doing a Perth - Broome - Kakadu - Alice trip for June; returning via the Gary Junction Hwy from Kintore to Kunawarritji and on to Marble Bar via the Telfer road.

Has anyone had recent experience on all or any part of our Kintore to Marble Bar leg pls?

Cheers. JB.

You could reach out to these guys.

They are right in the middle of traffic between Alice Springs and Marble Bar.

Joanne Krumer lives at Kunawarritji & follows The Canning page on Facebook. She would have a good idea of road conditions on GJ H & Telfer road.

From what I recall, the road is generally Sandy/red gravel through to Kuna, & road surface gets a bit rougher towards Telfer, due to ridges country & maybe sheeted gravel. Think it was bitumen right out to Woodie Woodie-Telfer junction.

It’s a couple of years ago but kunarwarritji to Telfer was a bit of a mixed bag. Nothing too serious. Depends if it’s had some maintenance I guess.

Gets better past Telfer then sealed from to turn off to Marble Bar through the Rippon Hills which is a lovely drive.

Enjoy it.
