Hi. I'm considering travelling the Kidson Track (WAPET Road) from 80 Mile Beach to
Kunawarritji and then on to
Alice Springs by the Jenkins Track and
Gary Junction Road. I'll be towing an off-road C/T
My Explore Australia book - published in 2005 - says that 'few people travel this route'. Is that still the case? It does appear extremely remote although with no particularly difficult stretches - it's standard is said to be 'Moderate'
I'd be very grateful for comments from people who have actually traversed it recently
Thanks
Geo

Sorry, not recent - june 2009 - with a camper trailer. We did the same , 80 mile through to
Alice Springs.
It was fine, prepare to have the paint a little scratched though. It's pretty bushy in
places. Its a mixture of sandy, washaways, mild rocky, overgrown, but not difficult. Not a lot of people out on it. We didn't see anyone else until we got to
Kunawarritji.

Thanks for that briancc - just don't want to get bogged (in sand) towing the C/T. From your description there's not much chance of that if you stay on the track
Cheers
