Yep old Don.

Try and get a detailed map of the place makes getting around and exploring easer, If ya keep you eye out may even come across some of that valuable yellow rock.

Know of where i can get my hands on a detailed map?

I have bumped my head too many times keeping eyes down looking for yellow it happens to be my wifes favourite color.

I had one, but have misplaced it unfortunately, I could have photocopied it and cent you a copy, Will rummage throe the cupboards sometime soon and if I find it will let you know, One of my mates might have it lying around his place somwhere.

We where up they’re over Easter and I was pulling my hair out trying to remember where I put the stuffing thing before we left, Ended up borrowing Don’s map of the place, the Gt northern runs throe the middle of the station, I have only ever been on the In-land side (Mt Singleton, Lake Moore.)

Perhaps try DOLA or Department of Environment.

So if anyone spotted a Once Green Explorer that was Covered in Red Mud driving around Perth Easter Tuesday, that was Me, I have since Washed it 3 times and the friggen thing’s still producing red dirt Yay.

The Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Freo should be able to sell you a 1:50,000 map of the area if that's what you're after. DLI in Midland are the 'source' if that's closer. There's also a joint in Hay St Perth next to 78's that sells them too.

Come to think of it, Paynes Find Roadhouse had some Auslig stuff too. Very progressive of them I thought.

AFAIK there is no Govt produced 50,000 scale map of that area - you will have to get 100,000 scale map (Map Sheet 2339 has Ninghan on it..I think). I would ring the Chart and Map Shop (Freo) or Map World (Perth City) before heading in as they may not have all the 100K in stock - DLI in Midland should have them all (I guess).

Thanks V8

Will have a look in Freo and hay street.

What was the road like through murchison and Mt Augustus will be towing trailer.

Fairly cut up and very soggy in parts. The grader I was following on one section just sank. Not much we could do but crack a beer and wait. The Gascoyne River was flowing fast but only a foot or so deep. I'd say you'd be fine by now.

I towed a 8x4 tandem trailer. Except for one section where it tried to overtake me, there were no worries at all.
