Park Road - Signage often refers to campers. Such as
this sign advising folks they can collect fireaood only
from near the roadside not in the bush. Actually
don't wander off into the bush or let the children because
a few 360% turns later and you will find your self rather
lost as the bush looks all the same.

Finnis River
This section can be impassable at the Finnis
River crossing, from December to March.Access: Batchelor
is accessible via the Stuart Highway from Darwin, or
the Litchfield Park Road (gravel) off the Cox Peninsula
Road. Generally speaking most residents of Batchelor
travel to Darwin via the Stuart Highway, involving a
trip of approximately one hour. Access to Litchfield
National Park from the Cox Peninsula Road has 42kms
of formed gravel and is generally of good quality, however
after heavy rains numerous washouts appear which can
make the road treacherous. This route to Darwin involves
a journey of just over two hours but can be impassable
at the Finniss River crossing, from December to March.
