Was looking on the map again, wanted some info on the Giles - Mulga Park road. It goes from the Giles weather station to Mulga Park which is in lower Central Northern territory. travels mostly in the top bit of SA.
It takes in the Surveyor Generals Corner, Cnr of WA, SA & NT. which would be a good part of the map to tick off. I have done Cameron Corner (NSW,SA & QLD) and would like to tick off another one.
By Reading a few sites on the subject there is a fee and the need for an aboriginal tracker to visit the corner. Interesting.
But also I have read that the fees are $100Per car & $20 per person. Not very nice.
But I have cut and pasted the following from the Explore oz site.
Aboriginal Lands - Northern Areas
For travel over aboriginal lands in the northern part of South Australia, which includes for example, the Giles-Mulga Park Road from Kulgera to Wingellina, contact the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunyjatjara Land Council.
Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Land Council
PMB 227 Umuwa via Alice springs NT 0872
Phone: (08) 8954 8111 or (08) 8954 8104
Fax: (08) 8954 8110

Please bear in mind that currently the Land Council does not normally issue transit permits for that part of the Giles-Mulga Park Road, nor for any of the other tracks in the area. However, if you simply wish to visit any of the very worthwhile art galleries located on AP-Y lands at Indulkana, Fregon, Amata and Papulankutja, then it is strongly suggested that you simply contact the Manager of the particular art gallery concerned. If you do manage to gain a permit to visit any of those areas you will find that it is the most beautiful document you will ever have been issued. The permits are a work of aboriginal art in themselves.
To visit Surveyor-General’s Corner, the normal access is from Warakurna on the Great Central Road down to Wingellina (where you pick up an escort/guide) and then out to the Corner. Applications for permits are made to the Ngaanyatjarra Land Council – see Permits for Western Australia.
