It's a bumpy dirt road in, we parked the motorhome at the entrance and walked about 10mins to the crash site Well worth it .

Very interesting site with information boards to read. So much war history in NT and this site helps appreciate life today!! Track in is a little rough with muddy water (had two big downpours this week)! We managed fine in a 4WD. Definitely don't take caravans.

Road in is not suitable for towing a van or high motorhomes, due low tree branches and a bit narrow in spots, Track a bit bouncy, you don't need a 4wd but you do need a bit of ground clearance.
