Tanami Track road trip Australia
The Tanami Road, also known as the Tanami Track and the McGuire Track, runs between the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory and the Great Northern Highway in Western Australia. Its southern junction is 19 km (12 mi) north of Alice Springs and the northern junction is 17 km (11 mi) south west of Halls Creek. It follows a cattle droving route northwest from the MacDonnell Ranges area of central Australia to Halls Creek in the Kimberley.
The Tanami Road is the most direct route from Alice Springs to the Kimberley, passing through the Tanami Desert. Along its route are Yuendumu and The Granites gold mine owned by Newmont Mining. In the Northern Territory it passes through land owned by the Aboriginal Warlpiri people, and in Western Australia it passes through pastoral land. About 20% of the road is bitumen, the remainder is dirt and gravel and, although it is navigable by two-wheel drive vehicles, a four-wheel drive is recommended. Some parts of the road are prone to severe corrugations, making for an uncomfortable and slow drive at times.
The mid-way point, Rabbit Flat, formerly a public roadhouse, was closed indefinitely at the end of 2010, so planning for this journey must take the lack of fuel and supplies into account.
Tilmouth Well, located 186 km (116 mi) from Alice Springs between Alice Springs and Rabbit Flat, provides fuel service 7 days a week. Carrying adequate fuel and water supplies is essential.

Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsOur senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
