we went the reverse way from
Marla to Fregon, Amata, Pipalyatjara last Easter. Your best bet might be to go past Mt Connor, turn left at Mulga Park and hit the bitumen at Victory Downs. The reason is that getting permission to traverse the Pit Lands is nigh on impossible. There is good
camping to the south of the Victory Downs Rd not far from the Stuart Hwy (nice rocky outcrops etc).
From
Kalgoorlie up Gt Central Rd then you can head north using CSR,
Gary Hwy or
Sandy Blight Junction Track. Each of them hits the Desert Rd (
Gary Junction Rd) or the start of the Wapet Rd at Well 33 (Kunawarritji). Turn left and drive to beach.
The SBJT is a great drive. I've only seen the bottom end and the
top end of the
Gary Hwy but it is little used and very tempting. The CSR sadly seems like a bit of a tourist track.
