We looked after
Lorna Glen and Earaheedy Stations for DEC for 14 months in 2008/9 From
Wiluna we headed up
Granite Peak road, past Millrose Station Where we spent 5 months helping Rex and Norma Ward with their mustering. Through
Sydney Heads, not a bad spot for a
camp and on past Glen Alye Station (belongs to Lou Ward - Rex Wards brother) to
Carnegie. This is the northern route and is pretty in
places. You could call into Millrose and say Hi to Rex and Norma or take a side trip out to
Lorna Glen and stay a couple of days. Great BBQ, etc in green lawns and has showers and toilets. DEC have been doing an endangered species release program there.
Or, you could take the "middle road" along the Wongawol Road up to
Carnegie, not quite as scenic as
the Granite Peak Rd but still interesting or take the southerly route via the Wongawol Rd, out to Prenti down then north to
Carnegie - cannot advise as I have never done that trip.
The two roads first mentioned are usually in pretty good condition, wide and usually
well graded - once you get
well out of
Wiluna anyway. Pretty much
camp where you like, plenty of fire wood just be very careful with the fires, making sure they are
well dead and buried before leaving. You can usually get fuel etc at
Carnegie but I would check before departing
Wiluna. There may not be fuel at
Wiluna, The supermarket that sold the fuel closed as we were leaving and I do not know the current status. Fill up at Leinster if coming up from the south.
Hope this is of some value
