Hi all
Plan to get away at
Easter, from
Port Hedland, and thinking that given the recent good rains, the
Nullagine end of the Skull Springs Rd might be a good area. I'm banking on not much more rain up here before then and hoping that the pools and maybe with a bit of luck, still running streams will be nice and clear by then.
Anyone know of any good spots in that area, or have some general info on the area. Have already seen
Running Waters / Eel
Pool. Loved it, looking for a new spot.
David Exploroz - if this trip goes ahead, will try and do a decent GPS plot for you. Or has it already been done? If not, what sort of things would you need for it to be useful.
Thanks in advance
Russell

To all concerned, I wouldn't plan on going anywhere near
Nullagine over
Easter. They've just had record rainfall up there, to such an extent that Nuallagine township has been cut in half by record levels in the
Nullagine River. The flood water will recede quite quickly, but the damage done to roads after such an eveny has to be seen to be believed. From past experience it will take months for the Main Roads Department to catch up with repairs to any road in or out of
Nullagine. Skull Springs Road won't even be there any more until it's recut with a bulldozerand a
grader. I used to have mining leases up along Skull Springs Road. The creek crossings on the road from Mt
Newman to
Nullagine are steep enough when it's dry. After a wash out like this, you wouldn't get across 'em without ripping the front off yer vehicle or tearing the backside out of yer van. Leave it until about September. Been there done that - not funny. Take it from an old bushie, it's not worth the effort.
