Gosse Bluff NT

get a better map.its dirt but, a bit corraated butnot 4wd only

Track in was more than 500m, I'd guestimate a couple of km. We towed our windup camper in and would agree a 2wd shouldn't have any problems however it is a bit bumpy in spots. Slow and steady (need to really as it's pretty narrow) and you'll be right unless your driving something "slammed" to the ground.

I haven't been there for about three years, but I would have thought that a standard car could be driven in, with a little care, without much trouble. It is also worth checking the display on Gosse Bluff in the Museum of Central Australia in Alice. Also worth going to the lookout at Tylers Pass to get a good perspective on the Bluff

yes,ill do Tylers pass and the gorges and chasms while we're there. Cheers and TY all.. Cheers..PJ

Hi the track from the turnoff is just a bit sandy corrigated as usual.
This photo of the track is about 2 years old.
The sign shows 4WD only probably if it was wet?

We towed our Jayco Outback camp into Goose bluff while on route to Glen Helen

I was there on Thursday (22 May 2008) for work.

The road just after Hermannsburg (about the first 15km) is quite corrugated. Quite frankly, it sucks and as long as I've lived in Alice Springs, this bit of road has always sucked!

However, once you reach the Desert Oaks (those funny looking trees) until the Ipolera/Gosse Bluff turn off, it's a much better gravel road. There's about 10km of bitumen after this, all the way to the turn off into the crater itself. The track into Gosse Bluff (its proper name is Tnorala -which is kind of pronounced Noh-RUH-lah ... I won't go into the how to pronounce the Tn sound!) is officially a 4WD track, but unless it's been raining, you won't need 4WD and a soft-roader could do it easily.

I travel this way for work often and my partner is one of the rangers for the Parks and Wildlife Service.
