August 2004 Trip

Ditzy said to tell you to make sure you but a vehicle that automatically shuts the back door so you don't lose your luggage like last time.

G'day Mal, 2 years ago we did the trip from Meekathara to Carnarvon via Gascoyne Junction. The road, or in some places it was a track, was quite good. I remember that there were many, many cattle grids. This road is through cattle properties and sometimes you would pass quite closely to a homestead. In fact on a couple of occasions you will drive almost through the front yards of the houses.
We were towing a Jayco camper and only got one puncture. The only fuel between Meekathara and Carnarvon is at Gascoyn Junction, they also do tyre repairs. I remember during the entire 600km trip we only passed one vehicle going the other way, and that was between Gascoyne junction and Carnarvon. I think it is a rarely used road. There are several turnoff's that lead to mines, not sure if they are working or not. Hope this helps.

Dear Mal, I was so busy looking at the photos and remonstrating with those other naughty boys last night that I forgot to get on here and say I was sorry for telling everyone about your last adventure because you had been nice to me and sent the photos. (I could get a job in the public service with that sentence).
They came on the mail plane last night with the Country Life (thank goodness, a fresh newspaper to read) - wow they are terrific. Having trouble with one - think the date is 1958 am I right? Gotta find a magnifying glass for Ian. That year Brookie was away getting married and missed the flood so he will be interested in these also. Nice day here - only 49. Got to 34 last night. Walk outside and it frizzles you. Poor dogs are suffering - inside my house lying on the lounge floor. Ring and give me more information please?
