In its original form, the Gary Junction Road ran from Liebig bore in the Northern Territory to Callawa Station in Western Australia.

On present day maps, it is depicted as running from the Tanami Road (Narwietooma turnoff) to Gary Junction, just east of the Canning Stock Route, a distance of 852 kilometres.

[3] Towing had barely begun when the cook's ration truck with all of its supplies caught fire and was burnt out on 12 November.

Meanwhile, the towing operation continued, and the team was reunited 10 km west of Sandy Blight Junction.

[5] Beadell and the GRCP returned to Gary Junction, and on 4 July started work on a road from there 45 km north-west to intercept the Canning Stock Route at Well 35 (Minjoo).

After crossing the stock route, they continued through the Great Sandy Desert battling sand dunes and the salt Percival Lakes to join an existing track at Callawa Station.

In August 2004, Connie Sue Beadell and mother Anne led a party of eight vehicles along the original Callawa track.

The party had a total of 70+ punctures for the whole trip, bearing in mind that 5 of the 8 vehicles that started did not finish the entire distance."
