Outback Travellers Gulf Savannah Country Series 5 – Track 3

Description

Gulf Savannah Country Track Guide covers a total distance of 1871.7km.

In the dry, the creeks and rivers are down sufficiently to not pose any dramas, roads are dusty and corrugated in most parts with several bulldust areas throughout.

People at roadhouses and townships are welcoming and excellent fishing is available. Longest distance without fuel is a little over 300kms so should not cause concern for most.

There are ample areas for bush camping along rivers and designated caravan parks and plenty to explore. This is crocodile country so care should always be exercised around waterways, however, there are some great swimming locations at Adels Grove, Lorella Springs and Mataranka.

The climate is warm in the winter period ranging from 25-32˚C during the day.

The Sectioned Maps will help you find everything of interest along the Track and point out potential road cautions in advance, supported by visual references, for the benefit of your safety.

Using photography, track notes and mapping, the Outback Travellers Gulf Savannah Country Track Guide is a companion to sheet maps, offering a closer look at what is out there, where to find it and how to get there safely.
