Has anyone been on Duncan Road from
Halls creek to the WA, NT Border
Check point recently if so how were the road conditions . I am thinking of going that way in May rather than go on the sealed highway from
Halls Creek to
Kununurra.

We did it 2 years ago and had a great time. We took 3 days (last day to get from
Marella gorge to KNX via
Halls Creek.
Marella gorge is great, with camping by a
billabong, with a bit of a walk to
the gorge itself. Ring Nicholson station before you go, they were very helpful and permission was not a problem. We also camped by the
Negri River, which was quite nice but unfortunately others before us had left the
campsite in a pretty ordinary state.
We didn't do much exploring, just a quick get away and relax....as much as possible with a 9 month old. There are plenty of tracks and abandoned homesteads along the way. I cant remember how far it actualy was, but we only drove a few hours each morning, so at a guess it is about 450km. May should be a good time of
yea to do it, hopefully still a bit of flow in the rivers but not enough to close the road. I think there may even be a book about the road somewhere......
Hope this helps
Andrew
