: Access driving via the sealed Stuart Highway south from Darwin or north from Alice Springs. |
From Darwin to Alice Springs is the Carpentaria Highway turnoff south of Daly Waters on the Stuart highway section of the Explorers Way |
You'll pass the turn off about 150km east of the Stuart Highway. Now we're off on the longest driveway in the world, nearly 400km to "the 'Loo". It's a long but pleasant drive if you don't push too hard; there are parking bays every 30 or 40km and several rest areas, suitable for camping, along the way to "Heartbreak" and on to" the "Loo". There are lots of just natural things to take your interest; the jump up - or down in this direction - at around the 250km mark is spectacular, especially if you're there at sunrise, and we intend to prepare a strip map from Burketown to Daly Waters in the near future. Isolated Limmen National Park offers a wonderful remote park experience, but you will need to be fully self-reliant when you visit. Featuring spectacular sandstone formations, numerous river systems and associated wetlands, it is also steeped in culture and history. NT Govt. site: http://www.parksandwildlife.nt.gov.au/ |
