Tanami track

Hi, have a look here.

Tanami Track

Gday Peta,
The Tanami"road" is just that, a road.
Its a well travelled road in all months of the year..... occasionally it rains and it might get closed for a week or two but other than that it is always open and quite accessible. The road varies from one week to another and some peoples idea of a good road is not another's. As for the weather....mate, if you can find someone who can tell you what the weather will be doing in March ask them the Lotto numbers....LOL.


Cheers

doing the track in early april but going from halls creek to alice so might see you there somewhere

Hi Peta, did it in March 07. Weather was hot but not unbearable. Road, as others say, is always variable. At that time it was good for comfortable travel
at 80k (towing C/t) except for last 50k on WA side..down to 40kph. We bush camped near WA border & did it easily in 2 days. Check your fuel needs carefully
& dont forget Wolf Creek Crater. cheers.....oldbaz.

I personally would not recommend the Tanami in March. Things to consider is this is a busy month for Tropical Lows and Cyclones. The WA side becomes impassable quickly especially the Sturt's Creek Crossing which can flow over a kilometer wide.
Rabbit Flat only opens spasmodically during the wet so you will have to carry enough fuel to take into consideration sidetracks and turn arounds.
The road from Balgo North is very corrugated and needs slow speeds and good track decision.

Did t in 1991 - saw 5 vehicles along its length !
