2024If your Club is still deciding where to have an outback road trip this year we would like to suggest you take a trip via our remote cattle station - Mt Swan/MacDonald Downs - along the Binns Track in central Australia. The Binns Track is N.T.’s newest four-wheel drive route running from Mount Dare on the South Australian border to the township of Timber Creek - 2,191 kilometres and is the feature of the new R.M. Williams Outback Tracks magazine with particular reference to our new conservation reserve (Tower Rock).

We've set up new facilities on the station to cater to the 4WD adventurers including trails and tracks and bush camping. There are designated 4WD tracks with two fun 4WD Quiz Trail experiences - one takes in the northern end of the property and one the southern end - one 70kms and one 90kms. There are prizes to be given to participants. 285kms from Alice Springs and 375 kms from the Queensland border we can be accessed via the Outback Highway and the Sandover Highway.




We have two free bush camping sites – one in our beautiful new Reserve and one along the banks of the Fraser Creek closer to the main homestead.
Amenities attractions:

There are shower and toilet facilities nearby
Mt Swan Mini-Mart: Sells general stores and fuel
Mt Swan Art Gallery and café: Run by the Chalmers whose relationship with the local Aboriginal people extends back three generations. Amongst the people today there are many extremely talented artists whose work you can see while enjoying a coffee and cake under the patio or by the pool. See us on www.towerrocktours.com (http://www.towerrocktours.com/)
Please ring me on the number below if you are interested in coming to us this year and I can give you more information and maps.
Kind regards,

Sonja
