Description of Football Oval (Gunbarrel Hwy)
This is a large claypan that someone has erected a set of Aussie Rules Goalposts at the southern end. The posts are steel pipe at present but I remember them being old tree trunks in the mid 1980's. The posts were set up by members of Len Beadells Gunbarrel Construction Party on one of their road building excursions in the 50's and 60's. The above Lat and Long are taken right between the goal posts. This place features on the Hema Desert Tracks Maps on the South West Sheet. The claypan is on the southern side of the
Gunbarrel Hwy some 26 km west of the
Gunbarrel Hwy-
David Carnegie Road intersection. Mick O. Dec 07.
