Great Tracks - Australia
Sandover Highway
The vast open spaces along the adjoining Sandover Highway to Camooweal can
make for a memorable 4x4 trip for those who cherish the feel of the great
outdoors. Road conditions can range from good to sandy and severely
corrugated. Swirling bulldust can reduce visibility on some stretches so
keep a safe speed and distance behind other vehicles. You can refuel at
Arlparra Store and Ammaroo Station before heading into Camooweal.

Plenty Highway
Head east on the sealed stretch of the Plenty Highway 70 km north of Alice
Springs for an overnight camp at delightful Gemtree where you can try your
luck at fossicking and re-stock for the journey ahead. The highway’s

country to the Queensland border. Conventional cars may handle conditions on
the Territory side but 4x4 is recommended to tackle the corrugated and dusty
Queensland sectors, notably between Tobermorey and Urandangi or Boulia. Fuel
and supplies are available during daylight hours from the Gemtree Caravan
Park, Harts Range Store (closed noon-3pm) and Jervois Station.
