The Old Gunbarrel Highway

First time I have heard that, you need min 2 vehicles on the old GBHW.
I have done the old GBHW several times with one car.
Who said it was not negotiable ?

I'm hoping to do it too - in June (West-East). I was wondering about applying as if there were 2 vehicles involved, but are they likely to turn you away if only one turns up? - what right have they to do so?

We travelled west from Uluru last year and did the Old (abandoned) Gunbarrel. Whilst we did have appropriate permits for our 2 vehicles, at no time were were stopped and a check done for the permits. In fact, the only people we saw at all on the section from Warakurna to Warburton was a tag-along tour escorting Anne Beadell and the original grader driver. The group were mounting Len Beadell memorial plaques at various intervals along the track.
You also need permits for travelling on the Docker River Road. These can be obtained from the Central Land Council, Alice Springs NT Ph 08 8951 6320 at no charge.
Cheers
