LONGEST DISTANCE WITHOUT FUEL
524km, Cape Crawford to Mataranka to Cape Crawford; 316km Hells Gate Roadhouse to Borroloola.
PERMITS AND FEES
Camping fees apply for both Elsey and Limmen national parks.
Roads may be impassable for long periods between December and May due to wet-season flooding.
Like all unsealed outback roads, these vary from good to rough depending on when the grader last went through. The road surface is good for a few weeks after the maintenance crews move in following the wet, but then begins to deteriorate. By the late dry, some sections have become badly corrugated or broken up into bulldust holes.
The track crosses literally dozens of watercourses, including several major ones such as the Gregory, Nicholson, McArthur and Limmen Bight rivers. Snorkels may be required on some crossings early in the season, but come July you’re unlikely to find anything much deeper than 50cm. Approach all dips and crossings with care.
