Plenty Highway- hardly a highway, it is a rough in parts, corrugated, dirt 4WD track passing through some interesting country, outback stations & settlements.
Turnoff is 68km north of Alice Springs, links NT with Queensland & is now part of what is knowng as "The Outback
Way", with fossicking for gems a popular pastime for some around Gemtree (logical really).
Our excitement came when we were heading to Tobermorey Station to camp for the night & just 40km short of our destination ... we had a blowout & a very much shredded & very flat tyre! Not on the worst bit of road either.
That took care of one of our spare tyres & provided a talking point for most of the other happy camper travellers stopping overnight on the lovely green grass camping area at Tobermorey Station.
Tobermorey is a great spot to camp just before the NT/QLD border, even with a loud generator running 24/7 !
