Halls Creek to Wolfe Creek Crater-Tanami Road conditions

G'day Greg,

I haven't travelled the road for a couple of years but it's a big old dirt road.
Nothing too rough. Roadtrains use the road frequently. They travel pretty slow.

Take you time and enjoy the view.

Hoo roo,
Steve

NT road reports

There last year. Sections were being remade. It is the main road to two large communities. It is usually in very good condition.

Considering the realignment upgrades on the Tanami at the Halls Creek end, that shouldn't be too bad, but don't expect anything but corrugations on the 40 kilometre access road to the crater.Halls Creek Shire Council aren't the best at communications, so I haven't been able to obtain any up to date information.

Travelled on it a few weeks ago

there are some good sections now bitumised, those sections not bitumised are rough prior to Yeundemu then brilliant after that, we sat on about 100KPH pretty much all the way, apart from some roadworks and some washouts ,to Balgo and then it turned back to poo between there and Bililuna. Nice drive between Wolfe Creek & Halls Creek and the road into Wolfe Creek was good.

I didn't think to ask about the roads; our son was here this morning, just a few days back from a motor cycle trip including the Canning Stock Route, Wolfe Creek Crater, and Halls Creek.

Hi Greg
Don't be daft like us and head off to Balgo forgetting our careful fuel plan...ran out of diesel 22kms shy of Yuendumu! BUGGER!
Road not really that difficult, anywhere there are mines these days the roads tend to be quite respectable, if corrugated from the trucks.

Gday Greg,

2 weeks I drove from HC to the Mt Bannerman t-off which is south of the Wolfe Creek t-off. The road is reasonable from the highway through to the Ruby Plains homestead, after that it got better and better going south. I was towing a camper trailer and had no issues.

Cheers
