After a good connection with the locals, we "up the track" through this extraordinary and remote country - by the great Tanami and Granites gold mines, and old abandoned wells from gold rush & cattle droving days to Rabbit Flat Roadhouse to stock up on essentials then to our camp for overnight in the real nowhere.
