Wittenoon/Tom Price.

We did the drive last July towing our camper trailer and the road was fine. The road into the gorge at Wittenoom was not the best as it is no longer maintained. Kevin

Keep the windows up, the vents closed and drive slowly so you don't stir up too much dust. Witenoom Gorge area must have been nice once upon a time - such a shame it brought so much sickness and death to so many. There are remnants of a concrete building of some sort just before Witenoom: quite a few messages scribbled on the walls from ex residents - most were kids at the time.

Its an interesting area, a great visit into recent industrial history. We stayed overnight as well at a beaut spot.

Funny thing: they do all they can to discourage people visiting there and all they can to encourage people to visit Karijini. As the crow flies, not a great distance.

To all those worried about asbestos, particularly if you are around 70+, don't worry something else will finish you off before the asbestos does.
The negative effects are very slow in creating problems with your health.
So if you are in that age group and want to visit, just go ahead and enjoy the trip.

Disco.

I was first through the area in 1967 , in the photo on the left is my 1962 Holden EK . Photo quality is not good it was probably taken with a Kodak Instamatic
