The Broadarrow track is quite hard on tyres from the south once near Wickhan and Humbert tracks it get easy, the Bullita Stock route is a ONEWAY track from the Bullita
Campsite, due to some exit and entry ramps into rivers, there's also a difficult section between the outstation and
Spring Creek Camp, this goes down a steep
hill with high steps, they say this track takes 8hrs from
Bullita Campground to the main road there right, not suitable for crossover or low 4X4's

We were there a month ago, Broadarrow track was closed (
ranger said it was overgrown and damaged), and Wickham track also. We came in from
Timber Creek to Bullita via a good graded road. Bullita
camping area has nice sites and pit
toilet, the beautiful adjacent
waterhole was too overgrown to get close but there was an open crossing (on Bullita stock route) a short walk 100m downstream.
The
homestead is
well preserved and has some fascinating stories of what the pioneers had to survive.
We went out via
Humbert track, 60km took about 5 hrs with a few very short stops. Nothing too hard but lots of steep creek crossings and a fair bit of slow work picking the way between rocks. Good clearance and low range required. The Humbert
river crossing was an interesting twisting section with some big steps along a sloping
rock shelf, I was happy the water was very low so I could see the deeper bits.
We were warned about tyres, there are lots of sharp
limestone spikes in
places on the road. We took it slow and easy and had no trouble.
Cheers, Gado
