Darwin to Litchfield

Hi Dunco,

Have to agree Steve here, I haven't been on the road this year but I wouldn't take a road van down the road. Conditions are usually OK but why risk damage. If you are going to Bachelor with the van use the Sturt highway. Only risk it if you intend to go to the other side at Wangi falls but remember that it is pretty busy these days as well. I tried to check the NT GOV web site but they have shut down at the moment. I know a lot of the tracks, including that road was still closed only two weeks ago. Try the website when its up and running:

Good luck with your trip

Dave

Hi Dunco,

The web site is up and running. This is the link directly to the Litchfield NP site. It was last updated 09 MAY so it could be out of date. Hope this helps:
