Hi, I'm planing my trip to
Darwin in July, and would like to hear from anyone who has travalled from
Borroloola to
Mataranka via
roper bar along the Nathan river Rd. I realy would be interested in an updated road report, the amount of vehicles that travel that road then, and any other info you would like to submit? Thx

Hi Zha - we leave
Brisbane on 17th June and will take 5 days to reach
Cape Crawford (
Lorella springs actually).
Did the long hours driving/travelling when younger - decided it was time to slow down and smell the roses (actually - overworked myself into a
breakdown - so was forced to. Now a volunteer giving talks in schools on stress and mental health - but thats anther stpry).
Driving a Patrol 4.2 td towing a 1.8 ton Poptop (off road Coromal).
Will spend a few days in
Darwin before heading off to GRR and Tanami.
Here is an interesting site with good description on the Nathan river road:

Yeah thanks for the sites. The road is flooded out at the moment which is usual for this time of the year. Have you recently travelled it in late june-july?
Lorella springs seems lovely. I would think by the time we get their you will be long gone. So if you can't fit all the barra that you've caught into your fridge. We shldnt be too far behind .....

Gday,
Just a little warning....Recently a couple of locals (
Alice Springs ) got busted for taking too many fish.
The bag limits are fish in your possesion!
Darwin people can bag out 3 times a day if they take the fish
home but if your not a resident you will be prosecuted for whats in your freezer!
Cheers
