The Binns Track

Graham

Having driven all of the roads and tracks of the Binns Track over a number of years there is very little 4x4 challenge, if any, and up to where you enter Gregory National Park(with the exception of Ruby Gap, Cattlewater Pass and to some extent Davenport Ranges) the whole trek can be done in an ordinary car. There may be a water crossing in the Davenport Ranges and one on the Humbert Track but nothing that would be deper than half wheel height or 500mm.(During the rainy season the Victoria River will rise over the causeway but in the dry serason the there may only be a trickjle of water over the floodway)

Go have a look here for further info

Altunga through to the plenty is fine with no water crossings (3 weeks ago)

North of the plenty I do not know.

Hi mate,

I was at the Gregory Nation Park last week and there is still some water in some of the creeks around the Bullita Homestead camp grounds and the access road. Nothing to scare you off that is for sure. This Binns track got me excited until I actually read where it was and discovered that most of it is on the highway with the Gregory at one end and the Davenport at the other. Permits aren't required as far as I can tell but you transit aboriginal land from when you leave the Gregory NP to the Victoria highway and there is a sign saying no grog. The roads can be very dusty so a snorkel is always a good investment in these conditions even if the creek crossings aren't demanding. If you goto:

This gives a lot of info on the park

and the 4WD tracks are on:

Hope this helps.
