Hi there,
When Peter Muir tried to find Empress Spring in 1971 (with Peter Hill) he came across from the Lake Wells direction (extension of Blaxland Range/Lake Wells Road. He used his route a few times, enough to make it into a loosely defined track. I went to travel the track recently. It is a good alternate route to Empress Spring and the David Carnegie Road.
I had expected it to be tough going and presumed it would be hard to follow. However, someone had done the hard work for me. Someone has been along there recently with a quad bike and vehicle and put flagging tape along the route so I just followed their route. Even so, in some spots the track was hard to follow. Although (I started from west) the west side of the track is definitely in the right position I think the track comes out on the David Carnegie Road a little too far south (by a few kilometres). Give it a go and remember to get permission from Lake Wells Station if you intend going through the lease.
Cheers
Alan
