Has been on my bucket list ever since we chucked a left at Burketown & headed south to Lawn Hill in ‘09. I wanted to continue across the Gulf, but everyone we spoke to advised that high clearance 4wd was needed & that we wouldn’t make in our bus + trailer. It was seeing the mud & dust covered 4wd’s arriving in Burketown from Borroloola which cemented our plan to get a 4wd ourselves. I recall pointing out a Toyota ute with a canvas canopy to MrsTea & telling her that was what we needed.
Great write up, have bookmarked it for re-reading in the future. Not sure whether we’ll do it or not, but I’m entertaining the idea of trying to caretake at Lorella Springs for the duration of the Wet, which I believe means being cut off there for several months with only helicopter (from Darwin) access in an emergency. Need to check out the place first though.
