Gday
I am planning a trip from Kalgoorlie to Plumridge Lakes then east to the Connie Sue around
Easter. It appears there is several ways to get there and I'm seeking suggestions on whether it's better to go via the south end of
Lake Minigiwal or on the Nippon HW to Officer Basin then north to Snake Corner or along the PNC Baseline Rd then north on the Cable Haul Rd.
The most recent threads I could find were from 2011 where there was mention of a fair bit of mining activity.
Has anyone been out there in the last 6 to 12 months that could provide info on track access and conditions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bushie,
It's been almost 2 years since I've been out that way, so I'm not within your 6 to 12 months time frame however no one else has answered your post so here's my info.
I went from Pinjin to Connie Sue Highway via PNC Baseline, Cable Haul Road and
Rason Lake Road.
No problems were faced the entire time, easy tracks etc....
There is a "new" mining track that starts just south of Pinjin and heads north east. It is a
well made and graded mining track. This continues past
the junction of the PNC Baseline Road. At
the junction though I turned right along the PNC Baseline Road. There is a
sign at this
junction that said, "No Entry Construction Site". I ignored this
sign and went down the PNC Baseline Road to the south east (Pretty easy to put a
sign up, not so easy to back up the information with relevant legislation etc...).
At
the junction near Officer Basin you have the choice of visiting
Queen Victoria Spring to the south (which I did). Continue on though. After here it is a bit tricky as there are at least two tracks that lead to nowhere and you may have to back track to stay on the main route. (use my plotfile, I have edited out the side tracks).
Continue on to the Cable Haul Road and head north to the next major
junction - Here you have the option of exploring the lakes.
From there head east along the
Rason Lake Road until the Connie Sue.
Cheers
Alan

Many thanks for your very informative reply. That is the info I was seeking. Beaut to also peruse your
blogs after receiving your reply, it looks like we have a lot in common. Will look out for you around the tracks.
