Our original plans were to turn right at Threeways and head north towards Darwin BUT at Barkly Homestead we were introduced to Micheal Zacka and his team.So we thought why not take to opportunity to experience the FINKE DESERT RACE.

This campground can fill up quickly, first in first served. Camping – A simple bush camping area with 24 unpowered caravan / trailer sites, tent camping area, sheltered picnic tables, fire places with BBQ plates and pit toilets is located at the southern end of the Reserve. No water or firewood is provided and you need to bring your own supplies. Camp only in designated areas. Camping fees (cash only, no change available) are payable on site. Pets are not permitted in the campground. The ranger does come through ensuring you have camped in the correct location & have paid. Walking – There are several walks to enjoy, including the Nyanjiki Lookout providing a panoramic view of the Reserve. The Karlu Karlu walk is an easy short walk (20 minute return) which commences from the day use area carpark. Signs explain the formation of the Karlu (Marbles). The 4 km Nurrku Walk provides visitors with a longer opportunity to experience the wider Reserve. • Fires are only permitted in designated fire pits. • Collect firewood before entering the reserve. • Pets are permitted in the day use carpark only and must be on a lead. • Generators are not permitted. • Drones are not permitted. • Traditional Owners ask that you do not climb on the Karlu (Marbles).
