Heaps of rubbish left there in August when we called in. Pretty disgusting the way it had been left.

We did that too Phil, towed the Karavans into the bush through the some clearings and only 120m from the road, we wouldn't have been seen by anyone who passed. There were three of us too.

We heard next day that some camp near the air strip, by the Telstra tower a few kms before Lark Quarry. I think there is a dam in there too.

As some have said there are notices by one property owner against camping and the Winton Information Centre will only give information close to town. I understand their position. They were good value and gave specific information if you knew what else to ask.

John,

And a good time was had by all. (Pictures to prove it)

You forgot to mention the old switchback on your tracks so that I lost where you went!!!

Area very flat and we camped about 10 to 15km's from the quarry.

Made it for the first tour at 9.30am or 10.00am.

A very easy start to the day and then onto Old Cork for lunch and 20k's out of Boulia in a creek bed that night.

Gotta find that 3G service eh John.

Also good water at the rest area on the way into Boulia on the right.

All in all fantastic and Lark Quarry is an amasing story.

Unbelievable.....but true!!!


Cheers
Garth

Hehehe, JohnR and Garth,
Glad that others find it too late in the day to make it to an organised campground :-)) Nothing nicer than a peaceful quiet camp in the mulga. Nice clearing, flat ground, plenty of privacy and a nice fire to cook on.
Of course you "leave no trace" when you leave. We had a great night there.

Cheers
Phil

Ah, Garth. It was a great trek and great company, even though I managed to throw some off my tracks. More friends at Boulia that we were to meet. I agree, that Lark Quarry is an education, especially with Dinosoar Bill as our educator. Jim was amazed I reckon. I wonder if he has provided Sandy with a Next G phone yet? LMAO At least she has a heater.

I am having to make a bigger circle than we had that evening though when they all arrive here. I have heard from another with your surname that is coming. Looking forward to the group here. May be 15-16 Karavans.

Phil, it was planned actually. We went looking down there having been told about the place for NO CAMPING, we thought about others and were told about the area by the phone tower by a guy in a minibus as we drove down.

We wouldn't have left anything anywhere apart from some ashes and cinders buried. Our foot prints were minimal.

I reckon our camp prior to Boulia would be under water at the moment though now as we were in a creek bed there.

We stayed on the air strip close by. I don't know if its used or not arrived after dark left before sunrise. There were about 300 of us on a rally. We bush camped.
