Buckleboo stock route

Have a look at this thread Gawler Ranges and Googs

Also this 4WD Action article, Loop 4 4wd Action Gawler-calling

Google Buckleboo and Gawler Ranges is worth a go.

Hi Tuck I've done some of that route (thanks to Stephen L for pointing me in the right direction).
Here's a plot




Cheers

Hi Tuck,
We visited Maralinga about 5 weeks ago & came home via Ceduna. We had some spare time & decided to have a look at the Buckleboo stock route from the Mt Ive end.
Hubby rang the Ceduna DSE. and was told that the track at the time other end was quite overgrown & that you'd get some scratches. That didn't worry us.
The sand is quite soft even at that end of the track & we let our tyres down.
We left the caravan at the beginning because we didn't intend to go all the way through.

It was soft white sand in many places but the person hubby spoke to in Ceduna said that there was one sand hill at the Ceduna end which most people find difficult.
Take care, safe travels.
Ma.

Hi Ma and Pa
so how scratchy was it . We dont mind a few

Hi Tuck

From Kimba, head out on the Main Road to Buckleboo and as you head through, do not blink, or else you will miss the small community town. If you use Ozi, you will see a road to the west and it will be Lienert Road, just keep following this due west.

You will then come to a sign stating that is is a summer road only, and you are on the right road. A little further along you will come to a sign, letting you know that you are on the Woolford Track. This track will head due west and the Buckleboo Stock Route will be on your left as you are travelling along. Use Allan's Track file as the turn off is very easy to miss if you are expecting it.

There is usually a sign at the junction, but morons ofter take it a souvenir. Not long ager you start the track, you will come around a slight right hand bend in the track and this will be a white dune that will catch you out if you are not expecting it. Speed is important to crest the dune and once clear, it is an easy drive all the way through, with nothing else to catch you out.

The detour into Corrobinnie Hill is recommended, and if you rate after a great little free camp, Tcharkulda Rock and old Hutt is the place to go to.

Here are some images.

Hi Tuck,
Contact the Kimba Visitor Information centre on 08 86272026. They have a booklet called welcome to our place KIMBA Gateway to the Gawler Ranges.
It has a map in the centre of it. They could send it to you.
Take care, safe travels Ma.

Thanks again - have been in touch with Robin couple weeks ago - all okay
