Hello all. Im looking at doing this NP on my motorbike in the near future. I am wanting to know if someone can give me some rough estimates on distances as Im having trouble finding the info I want.
I would be coming from
Newman doing South to North into the NP. What I would like to know is, starting fully fuelled in
jigalong, how many kms would I roughly expect to do heading along the Talawana Track, up into the National Park and doing some of the top sites in the Park (I know that is vague, im just after ball park) and then returning to
Jigalong for fuel before heading back to
Newman.
Obviously being on a bike I dont have the range of a 4wd. I figure I have a range of about 600kms on sealed road, less offroad. I can squeeze a little bit more out of it if i need to. From what i have very roughly worked out I would do approx 600 kms just to do
Jigalong-DQB return, let alone any other detours. Dpoes that seem about right?.
Anyway, just fact finding at the moment, nothing confirmed yet.
As far as doing this in warmer weather, the remoteness, water, food etc, I have done a number of remote summer trips through Australia solo. I feel I am aware of the risks involved and plan accordingly.
Well, as much as you can plan when on a bike on your own.
Thanks.
Grant
