Nyirripi

The community is located approximately 440 km from Alice Springs by road and it takes 5 to 6 hours to drive there. There are two main routes. For the first route, travel from Alice Springs to Yuendumu via the Tanami Highway which is sealed  for the first 290 km  and the rest of the way is formed and largely gravelled with some sections not gravelled. From Yuendumu, Nyirripi is approximately 150 kilometres west-southwest. The turn off for the community is approximately 1 kilometre on the left from the Yuendumu turn off. The access road is 150 km of formed track, which is passable except in extreme wet conditions. This distance can generally be covered in about 2 hours. The second route also travels along the Tanami Highway until 23 kilometres past Tilmouth Wells roadhouse. Take the turn left on the Mt Wedge road, continue west on to Nyirripi. This road is all dirt.
