More of the local area







These signs are at the airport as it is the main mode of transport if the roads are flooded.
Balgo has an approximate population of 450 people and can otherwise be found off the Tanami track.....a very bumpy and long corrugated dirt track that runs from Alice Springs and Halls Creek. In the wet season it can be completely shut off.
