RV TRAVEL
pressed for time, and even though we could have
gone faster, we chose not to as our main goal
was the experience itself, with a preference to
not break our ‘home’.
We all cheered as we made it out the Western
Australian end of the Tanami, after five days of
adventure, a little sweaty – but 4WD, van, kids
and adults alike all intact (we did, however, loose
two screws and a door hinge from inside the van,
and a bolt off the drawbar).
We were filled with memories, eager for some
decent showers to scrub off the dirt!
FREE-CAMPING THE TANAMI
The Tanami Track is bursting with free-camping
sites. The only thing we didn’t enjoy about the
campsites were the flies – (fly nets are definitely
necessary!). Epic sunsets, stunning starry skies
and quiet nights were the norm at the following
camps:
Diggers Rest: Open space, plenty of birdlife and
apparently some local wild camels frequent the
area.
Renahans Bore: An old windmill added a great
touch to sunset.
Quartz Ridge: A lunch stop for us with a gorgeous
360-degree view of the desert – and Telstra
service!
Sunset Gravelpit: Large offroad area with lots of
firewood lying around.
Elsey Hills Camp: Another lunch stop for us;
however, it would be an incredible camp if you’re
into astrophotography!
Wolfe Creek Crater: Amazing sunset and night
sky, followed by a gorgeous sunrise over the
crater.
