- Welcome to part 1 of our Red Centre Adventure...and the long way home.
In this episode we travel from Western Australia to the North Territory via the Great Central Road. A mostly unsealed road 1,126km long covering almost the breadth of Western Australia popping out at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
We'll give an insight into the road conditions, fuel overview and a look at possibly one the best camps we have ever stumbled upon

Quality content, thanks. So true about getting information on the West/East direction trip.
There's not a lot out there West to East. Thanks for feedback Matt :)
Hi mate, love the content. I'm doing the West to Easterly trip in a few weeks. I dont suppose you remember whereabouts that camp was just before Warburton? I'm figuring on hitting the same area on night 2 from Kal. Great content
Hey Randall, the camp was located about 50km south of Warburton it was a left hand track off the road. If you're on Insta send us a DM and we'll send you a screenshot of where we camped, it was an epic location well off the main road. You will bloody love the GCR, we know we did! Thanks for your kind words mate!
Looks like an epic road trip 🤩
It sure was
Super series of videos on your channel, more subs will come your way for sure. Safe travels from the UK
Thanks so much for your support
Coincidentally we are just now planning for the same road trip. Great to see this, so thanks. Any planning tips you have would be very much welcome.
Hi Cath
Our only suggestion would be to plan enough time in the West MacDonnell Ranges. We only gave ourselves two days and it just wasn’t enough, there’s so many great walks to do there. The Great Central Road is vast but it’s spectacular and a great experience. You’ll have a great time
Planning our trip at the moment… can’t wait! Did you find your sunset spot on wiki?
We didn't actually even though we had some Wiki Camps pinned we got to them a little too early in the day so we just pulled into a side road when we saw somewhere suitable. There are so many of them you will easily find one. The Great Central Road is something else - you will love it
Hi Guys, we were looking for a video from Perth to the red centre and came across yours. The rear windscreen was a pain so how did that happen? My wife said why doesn’t your partner speak ? So I said she may not want to or she could have a sore throat😂😂 But it’s always good to get a lady’s perspective on what’s going on especially when they are Scottish which is a lovely accent and she is better looking than you. 🥴🥴🧑🏻 Anyhow thanks for the video as you say you wouldn’t want to break down out there it’s just so remote. I know a lot of people have disappeared on that road and does that make it a bit spooky? Well thanks again and we hope M has taken something for her sore throat🤒🤒. Jon and Sue
Hi Jon and Sue, will you be travelling the Great Central Road anytime soon? It's an epic road trip, it's not spooky as such but you're definitely aware of the total remoteness which can sometimes be a little unnerving. The rear windscreen was a pain, we think a rock hit the trailer and bounced back onto the windscreen. It didn't hinder our adventure though and there was not a lot we could do about it out there anyway. Haha Em is still gaining confidence in front of the camera, she's much more comfortable these days but she much prefers to be behind the camera taking photos/videos and doing all of the editing. Thanks for tuning in and I hope your journey to the Red Centre is as incredible as ours was ☺️
Just stumbled upon your videos. What time of year did you travel
We crossed the Great Central Road at the end of September and travelled around the NT for 2 weeks in Sept/Oct before crossing the Nullarbor mid October
@thelittleadventurersAus thanks for the quick reply. We might truck our caravan up to The Alice. Not sure our onroad van will cope with the corrugations
@@StephLin_Stephen_Linda hmm yeah the corrugations can go for 10’s of km at a time. It would be slow going with an on road van. There’s plans to replace the gravel with bitumen so one day it could be a more comfortable/accessible trip
