Crossing the expanse of the Tanami Desert, the Tanami Track is actually a fairly well-formed earth road maintained by local mining companies. It is, however, a lonely and isolated route and while you can tackle it in a conventional vehicle with care, you will need to be well-prepared and self-sufficient. It is not recommended for caravans or trailers. Rain can close parts of the road at short notice. As well its possible to get several hundred kilometres along the track and find it is closed at the WA border Take ample supplies of fuel, food and water other than close to the Alice Springs end of the track, fuel can only be obtained at Rabbit Flat. You should also carry enough drinking water to last two trips because all dams and bores along the route are classified as 'undrinkable'. Many travellers have dismissed the Tanami Track as being monotonous and boring, but it does have some interesting features along the way and it is the most direct route from Alice Springs to north-west Western Australia. Its also a great way to see the second biggest meteorite crater in the work at Wolfs Creek.

Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park lies approximately 750 km to the north of Adelaide and 110 km from Leigh Creek. The Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park comprises arid wilderness with rugged, spectacular scenery, interesting wildlife and a wealth of Adnyamathanha Aboriginal culture and European heritage. The Gammon ranges is a great bushwalking destination – having only been first crossed by Warren Bonython in the late 1940s. The bushwalking is very rugged, and its extremely remote. There can be very limited water (depending on the weather in the weeks or months before). The weather can be very warm, and bushwalking is only suitable in the coolest months of the year – May,June, July and August. You can rent a Cottage at Grindalls Hut.There is one track through the park, and the mainroad from Leigh Creek to Balconnona running along the southern edge of the park The the Yankaninna-Yadnina-Balcanoona track, is 4WD, but in good weather is possibel for a careful 2WD driver. It winds its way through the centre of the park past Grindalls Hut and Lochnesswell. This track will take you through some of the most spectacular scenery and along the way there are plenty of places which make great bush camping spots.
