This remarkable journey is a must for lovers of seriously remote country and includes a huge diversity of beautiful desert landscapes. From Alice Springs we travel through the Western Macdonnell Ranges to Haasts Bluff and Papunya before heading west on the Gary Junction Road to Sandy Blight Junction. This road was originally constructed by Len Beadell and his Gunbarrel Construction Party. West of Kintore we visit the remote community of Kiwirkurra. We travel through the Great Sandy Desert camping nearJupiter Well. We cross the Canning Stock Route at Kunawarritji to the remote Rudall River National Park with its stunning Desert Queen Baths. We explore the rugged East Pilbara and visit Marble Bar - Australia’s hottest town, before heading south from Newman to the Goldfields, through Willuna and Leonora. After visiting Plumridge Lakes Nature Reserve and the Great Victoria Desert Nature Reserve we visit Forrest Railway siding, turning east travelling through Cook, Ooldea, Kingoonya and Tarcoola ending in Adelaide. |
