Hi,

I have had a look and can only find historical information on the area Halls Creek to Dunmarra travelling the Duncan Rd, Buntine and Buchanan Highways.

I couldn't find any Trek notes on these roads and would appreciate any information that would assist in planning that route.

Gday Kev and Richard - Idid, although it was a couple of years ago now, Nick from tassie who mooved up here last yea has done it more recently....I have only done the KNX - Duncan highway then Buchannon highway to Hells Crack, but I am told the Buchannon to the east of Nicholson station towards Kathryn is really good - I may get there this year.

We just did a quick trip. Camping at the Negri river and at Marella gorge. We had a great time and the scenery was fabulous. Marella gorge was spectacular, and I am tol we didn't see half of it, but the wife was pregnant and Brianna was 18 months at the time so the hiking/rockclimbing wasnt vigorously persued!

Bugger, now you've highlighted something else for early dryseason I have to do - its the best time to see everything up here, as the water can stop flowing into the swimming holes etc pretty early!

I don't think anyone would be dissapointed with a trip along these roads

Cheers Andrew

The Buchanan is sometimes used by travellers when the Tanami is flooded. The reports I have is that it's as easy to travel as the Tanami is with no major dramas.
