I was wondering if anyone has done the track from Docker River to
Surveyor Generals Corner, I f so what was it like and what were the kms.
We are looking at doing this track on the way back from
Alice Springs in June then either heading to
Warburton to refuel then onto the Connie Sue and Anne Beadell or straight down to the Anne Beadell as i have been told that you can get fuel as you join tha Anne Beadell track is this true.
We are travelling in four
well equipped 4wds and towing camper trailers any info would be appreciated.

Last time I checked, permits for this area were not being issued ?

Footsy
He He He I was gonna sneak down there one night about 10pm from the t/o and go sleep there , get up early, have me Cornflakes , get the required Photo's and the Pi** off , and if someone approached was going to put my vest on and Hard hat and go looking about on the ground as if I were an Official lookin guy and if asked what I was doing my reply would have been looking for survey points to build an
airstrip seeing as though I drive a Pilot Car, BUT as i turned South the lights on the dash started flicking on and off because of a later found short so back-tracked the 1klm and continued East, Thats the only Corner Yet to visit.

Ive often thought of the consequences of going in that way as you can get right up to the corner without having to go through the normal channels for permits etc.
A loophole just waiting to be exploited!!!!!
Just stay on the NT/SA side :)

A loophole just waiting to be exploited!!!
Or create hassles for all others who do the right thing or maybe even have a total ban imposed.

There is already a total ban imposed!!
Check out the DIA website.
I've been there already, so I dont need to exploit the loophole.
