Having visited Wolfe Creek we had to return to Halls Creek (only 15km from the Tanami Junction) to refuel, as the next fuel going West is Fitzroy Crossing, another 280km. The caravan park in HC is closed, due mostly to the petty theft and social problems of the town. However, some 17 km down the Duncan Road (the route to Wave Hill) is Old Halls Creek and “The Lodge” campground (as well as limited free camping on the creek side).
“During the rush Old Halls Creek was a town of makeshift tents. After the gold was all but exhausted Halls Creek subsequently developed into a small centre for commerce and trade. At its peak the town boasted a Post Office, Hospital, Police Station, two stores and a hotel.” .. courtesy the local Tourism office
