RV TRAVEL
After a big stint in Western Australia , I was hesitant to leave the amazing Kimberley region . After exploring so much of the north-west , I knew I had to leave soon as the daily temperatures were climbing . Crossing the border into the Northern Territory and watching the edge of the Kimberley fade in my mirror , I was hoping something would draw me back .
I was about 10 minutes into the Northern Territory when I saw a sign south to Halls Creek and the Buntine Highway . Always looking for an adventure , and with a quick scope of the map to see what was south , I was confident that it looked good to explore . The leading signs said that Halls Creek was nearly 450km away but this was a remote and isolated area where travellers proceeded at their own risk .
DUNCAN ROAD IMPRESSIONS
I found the conditions of Duncan Road to be like any other outback road . It was in pretty good condition , it was easy to drive after dropping some air out of my tyres , and it offered the most stunning scenery .
The Duncan Road was originally cut through in 1949 to service remote cattle stations and for the transportation of cattle out of the area . It is an interesting road . It starts in the Northern Territory and crosses into Western Australia , back into the NT , and back again into WA where it meets the Buntine Highway .
