Mulga Park Road

Please ignore this request as I have found some year 2009 answers when I trawled thru this great ExplorOz site. Many thanks to all who viewed our request.

Hi Peter and Ann

The Mulga park Road is a great drive and there is a lot to stop and see along the way if you like that type of country. For me it is far more interesting than taking the bitumen and one time when we had lots of spare time, it took us 1 3/4 days to do the drive, which can be driven comfortable in around 5 - 6 hours when conditions are good.

There are better views of Mt Connor from this road and couple of good camp spots where you can have Mt Connor as your backdrop when the sun is setting.

As for your original questions, yes it is part of the original Gunbarrel Highway, but only as far as the Mulga Park Homestead, were the original road swings away to your left into out of bounds Aboriginal Lands. The road is well signposted a few kilometres north of the South Australian - Northern Territory Boarder.

Here are a few images of what there is in the way of scenery along the way.

















All the Best for the Festive Season.


Cheers

Driven it many times.
First time in a Mini K in 1970.

This was in 1974, the year of the BIG wet.
