Points of Oz

Why not put the geographical centre of each state as well .

Hi Daryl,

You're a bit light on with detail about your trip eg

What sort of vehicle have you got?
Are you towing?
How long will you be away?
Are you wanting to camp out all of the time or caravan park?
Have you got kids and dogs to consider?
and so on.

With info like this you'll get a more informed reply.

Also don't forget to look at all the trek notes on this site, a lot of work has been put into developing them.

cheers

Steep point (western) is a sand track (great country)
Cape Byron (east) is a bitumen road
Cape York (North) is a dirt road followed by short walk
South East Point (south) is a hike from Tidal River
Crossing from Kosciusko to Lake Eyre over to west you could use Great Central Road
and Plenty Highway will help keep you off major highways

Sounds like a great trip - enjoy

If you are into hiking - you could also add the highest point in each State

The Lamber center is supposed to be the geographical center of mainland Australia. But that has been challenged. Anyway all dirt roads around Finke with the last 13Kms a sandy bush track, that is well within the capabilities of the 80 series. Plenty of bush camping with long drop toilets.

The Lambert Center. Tried to get the "locally produced" shopping trolley off the top but I was not able to climb up. I did at least unwrap the majority of the red and black string and wool thread from the monument.

A few random thoughts Daryl

Cape Byron to Steep Point will take you across the country, and off the bitumen for most of it.

Southernmost point of Australia requires quite a walk - no four wheel driving there; just a little used walk trail.

Southernmost point of Western Australia is in the West Cape Howe National Park, and is accessed by a challenging sandy four wheel drive track. The spot we went to was not the southernmost tip so I don't know how accessible that is.

Highest point in Western Australia (a flat land) is Mount Meharry in the Hamersley Ranges. You can drive all the way, but we haven't done so yet.

Lowest point in Australia - Lake Eyre.

You will be busy for the next ten years :)

The Centre(s) of Australia

Straight Daryl LOL.

Goggle the Binns track. It is a good run and will keep you off the black top. Lots to see.
