Join Club 4×4 and Angelo on a trip into Little Desert National Park


Club 4x4 Trip Notice
Trip Location
Location:Little Desert National Park
Location and/or Description of Trip (Itinerary):

We'll travel through the Western block of the Little Desert National Park to the Border track and then follow it north to the top of the park. We then turn back east to our camp site. On Sunday we can travel back to Goroke via the Central block of the park.
This is the first time I will be visiting this park so hopefully there will be lots to see in the desert at that time of year. Early April should have some good/warm weather and the sand might be soft at this time of year.

Camping on Saturday night will be at Broughtons Waterhole Camp, no booking is required. There are also NO toilet facilities at this site so you need to bring your own.

Start Location:Lake Ratzcastle Campsite
Finish Location:Goroke
Brief directions to meeting point:

Lake Ratzcastle Campsite - From Goroke, travel south on the Edenhope-Goroke Road until you reach Exells Rd. Turn right on Exells Rd and travel 250m west to the first turn off on the left. Drive all the way to the end of the track to the camp site.

Recovery gear appropriate for sand driving:
- Snatch Strap
- Max-Trax/Treds or similar (if you have them)

Warm clothes as it can get very cold at night.
