perfect river crossings and a 10-truck strong
convoy – this is the only way to see the Top End!
Again, no need to rush this part of the trip –
the last thing you want is to push your 4WD and
camper too hard and have dramas with your
fi nal destination in sight! Besides, when it’s over
40°C and dry and dusty, you’re going to want to
pull up and cool down at the water crossings.You can also grab a roof rack’s worth of wood
while you’re there.
The Manangoora homestead is 25km from the
turn off, however, it still takes a good 40 minutes to
get through the heavy bull-dust ruts and through
a few gates. The track can get pretty rough, so it’s
a smart idea to lose a few pound out of the tyres,
just to make travel that touch more enjoyable.QCAMPSITE:
