Adelaide-Broome via Alice Springs

Hi Dean. The permits can take a while to get back to you, so get them off early.
July should be OK unless it's wet out there or there's a cyclone in the NW.
By the Wapet track, I assume that you mean the Kidson Track?
It's hardly a breeze , so go prepared. If you're by yourself a radio or satphone could be handy.

Hi Dean,
The permits for both WA and the NT are free and you can go online and apply for both. There is no need to download them, as you fill everything out on line and then just hit the submit button. If you request for the permits to be sent to your email address, the ones for the NT will be sent back to approved in a few hours, as for WA, thy will take longer. I have applied for both sides, received the NT side OK, but only 1 for WA so far.Having said that, I have had to submit a full route plan for WA, as a lost of the places that we wish to travel through are not listed on the internet.

Have a great trip

Cheers

Dean,

did the tracks last year and year beforee. Their condition varies dependant upon rain and the grader. They are usually always more corrugated around communities due to the extra traffic from locals.

These blog entries might give you an overall impression of the Wapet and GJR inclduing conditions and possible camping spots.
