__NOTOC__ The Tanami Road, also known as the Tanami Track and the McGuire Track, is a road in northern Australia.〔 Design Interaction (Firm) & Walker, Greg & Walker, Josie (2007). In Tanami Road with regional roads and public access routes : Alice Springs, Tilmouth Well Roadhouse, Yuendumu, Rabbit Flat, Balgo, Billiluna, Halls Creek, Old Halls Creek, Bungle Bungle. Design Interaction, Bundoora, Vic〕〔 Walker, Greg (2007). In Tanami Road. Design Interaction Eight Mile Plains : Hema Maps Pty, Limited (), Bundoora 〕 It follows a cattle droving route northwest from the MacDonnell Ranges area of central Australia just north of Alice Springs to Halls Creek in the Kimberley. The Tanami Road is the most direct route from Alice Springs to the Kimberley, passing through the Tanami Desert. Along its route are Yuendumu〔 Yuendumu Mining Company N.L (1980). In The Tanami road : the Aboriginal-owned Yuendumu Mining Company N.L. submission to Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works. Yuendumu Mining Company N.L, Darwin 〕 and the Granites Mine owned by Newmont Mining. In the Northern Territory it passes through land owned by the Aboriginal Warlpiri people, and in Western Australia it passes through pastoral land. About 20% of the road is bitumen, the remainder is dirt and gravel and, although it is navigable by two-wheel drive vehicles, a four-wheel drive is recommended. Some parts of the road are prone to severe corrugations, making for an uncomfortable and slow drive at times. The mid-way point, Rabbit Flat, formerly a public roadhouse, was closed indefinitely at the end of 2010, so planning for this journey must take the lack of fuel and supplies into account.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Tanami Desert, Australia )〕 Another roadhouse, Tilmouth Well, located from Alice Springs between Alice Springs and Rabbit Flat,〔 http://www.tilmouthwell.com/ Tilmouth Well〕 provides fuel service 7 days a week.〔 Carrying adequate fuel and water supplies is essential. The astronomer Eugene Shoemaker, best known for his co-discovery of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, died in a car accident while travelling along the Tanami Road in 1997. ==See also== *Canning Stock Route 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tanami Road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
