Warburton Roadhouse to Warakurna Roadhouse in Gunbarrel Highway
Warburton Roadhouse to Warakurna Roadhouse in Gunbarrel Highway
From Warburton the road becomes more straightforward. On the 230-kilometer stretch to Warakurna you simply have to follow the maintained gravel road that lies before you. Be aware that on leaving Warburton, you'll enter the Central Australia (Warburton) Aboriginal Land, for which you need to have a permit. (See the 'Prepare' section above.)
The road lies more or less on the border of the Gibson Desert to the north and the Great Victoria Desert to the south. 213 kilometers from Warburton a track joins the road from the left. This is where the abandoned section of the Gunbarrel which started at the Heather Highway turnoff ends. For a short distance you'll be driving on the real thing again.
Sixteen kilometers further, you arrive at a T-junction. On the left lie the Giles Meteorological Station, which might be open for visitors and Warakurna Community, which is off-limits. Turn right and after a few hundred meters you arrive at the roadhouse, which again has some basic facilities and supplies, except for mechanical repairs.
