Its total length is about 550 kilometres and it passes through semi-arid deserts and Spinifex blacksoil plains. The track leaves the Stuart Highway 70 kilometres north of Alice Springs, follows the Plenty Highway for the first 30 kilometres and finishes in Lake Nash, just outside of Alpurrurulam, on the Northern Territory/Queensland border.

The track crosses into the Urapuntja Aboriginal lands. No permits are needed to travel on the track itself, they are however necessary for travellers wishing to visit Aboriginal communities off-track.

It is important to note that the Ammaroo Station is no longer open to the public. The only fuel supply along the track can be found at Arlparra.

Although the first part of track can be tackled by conventional vehicles, use of a 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended after Ammaroo.
