After leaving Adels Grove at Lawn Hill National Park we took the back road towards Doomagee. The road was good but there were few gates to go through as we crossed various cattle stations. We then continued along Australia's Highway 1, locally called the Savannah Way.
We stopped at Hells Gate Roadhouse for the night which is named after a local geological formation. Hells Gate is near the Queensland/NT border and in the 1880s was as far as the police would escort the early settlers from the east coast. After that they were on their own in a lawless land - the Northern Territory of the colony of South Australia.
