Roma Gorge - NT

The EOTopo 2023 edition mapset was released in March shows the 4WD track via Goyder Pass as the only option to reach Roma Gorge. We (the map publisher) drove this track and surveyed the area personally in preparation for the 2023 map update.

As of Jan 2023, map still says access is from the West. That road is closed, and essentially impassibly overgrown. Access to Roma Gorge is from the NORTH via the Davenport creek track that actually goes through Goyder Pass. The "Roma Gorge Turnoff" is on the ExplorOz map at the right point, but no road connecting it to Goyder Pass and into Roma is visible. Trust me, the road is there marked by a sign and fairly easy to follow (though very stony and loose... and definitely 4WD only). Consider a stop in Goyder Pass, which is a rather attractive but often overlooked spot.
