Hi There,
We are planning on doing the CSR from
Wiluna to
Halls Creek from the 8th Aug. Is anyone else traveling at this time? Would be great to catch up with some fellow travellers :)
Also coming from the South has anyone recently been through
Paynes Find -
Sandstone - Leinster track? Do you know what the condition of the track is like? Would it be quicker and more economical going up to Meekathara then
Wiluna?

The
Paynes Find to
Sandstone road is a good track.
Sandstone to Leinster is a sealed road in v good condition. Alternatively you can drive
Sandstone to
Wiluna via the Gidgee Gold Mine road, also a good track.
Cheers

Gidday jezza,
Paynes Find to
Sandstone to
Wiluna via Yeelirrie (not via Leinster) is a good outback dirt and gravel road. Obviously things could change after rain.
Off the top of my head it is about 80km shorter than going up the highway to
Meekatharra but via Meeka you then have only 200 km of dirt to
Wiluna.
So six of one, half a dozen of the other. Maybe save an hour or so but a couple of hundred km less dirt
Enjoy your trip

Hi Rach,
There will be 3 of us going. 2 x 76 series Landcruisers and a 79 Series. One of them will have 4wd Rescue & Recovery on the doors.
That's great maybe we can catch up for a beer and BBQ one night :)
