Hi everyone
First time user and wondering if anyone can give me any info on driving from
Tarcoola north to Manguri Siding along the railway line. If at all possible do we need permits or permission from land owners. Thank you Kay

I believe the track you speak of is the railway maintenance road & is not open to the public with signs just out of
Tarcoola warning not to proceed any further. Having said that the locals at the pub say they travel that way to
Coober Pedy as long as there's been no rain. Unfortunately I doubt a permit would be available unless you have business along the route.

Hi Craig
having done it form east and west, as far as may 2008 there are no signs, no warnings what so ever.
I'm not say you (anyone) can not it and that it's open, just that there are no signs or warnings. as of May 2008
Cheers
Richard
PS. the SA road would be the main road into
Maralinga, It's a good Road/track you could do it in a 2WD higher clearance Ute.

Richard if you travelled east/west (Transcontinenal railway) I think we may be talking about 2 different tracks? Kay was enquiring about the track north of
Tarcoola to
Coober Pedy (Manguri Siding). A call to a local police station would confirm latest track status.
