MacDonnnell Range to Tanami Road

Hi Thomas

I don't know Round Hill, but you can go from the West MacDonnells to the Gary Junction Road via Haasts Bluff (the hill not the community - the community is on a spur road of this short cut). We did it the other way, leaving the Gary Junction east of Papunya and meeting Namatjira Drive west of Glen Helen. It is well signed. Some patches a little sandy, but we got through easily with our rig. We were coming in from the west and chose to go to Alice via the West MacDonnells rather than continuing to meet up with the Tanami and in to Alice Springs. These roads are a whole lot better than you will meet on the Tanami.

Yep...you just keep on going west but stay right at the split in the road. It will take you to Haasts Bluff and then the Desert Road (Gary Junction) then throw a right there and that will bring you out on the Tanami

OR you may throw a left and travel along the Desert Road to Mt Webb, then take a faint track to the Aboriginal Business Road between Kwirrkurra and Balgo and hang another right there. From Balgo it is a short way to the Tanami Road (permits required from DIA Perth).

OR you may take a very rough (and I mean rough) track behind Ellery BigHole and Fish Hole Gorge and find your way along some station tracks to the Tanami

Hello Motherthen and Spero,
