we spoke to some more people and the consensus is that the road between domagee and borroloola is not too good. we therefore decided to take the long way round: we’ll go south between the tanami desert and the barkly ranges, then turn east at three ways and hope to get to the barky roadhouse tomorrow. it’ll be a long day but there is really not much to see on the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

form barkly we’ll try to reach adel’s grove the next day, another longer drive, especially since there will be a bit of unsealed road as well. we’ll see how far we get, there are always campsites near the road if we run out of daylight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

the mataranka hot springs on the south side are similar. this is the place referred to in the famous book ‘we of the never never’. btw: those are bats in the trees, not coconuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

there is a replica of the homestead near the springs, which was built for the shooting of the movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
