Well you've just mastered the hardest part of the whole trip Sue, getting your
blogs done. Great job. The Anne Beadell will be an amazing experience. Just remember to take it easy on the corrugations. Rushing will lead to disaster. Adjust your tyre pressures to help the shockers and make sure you take the time to enjoy he sites along the way like Yeo,
Serpentine Lakes and the Goldfields airways plane wreck. Make sure you duck in and have a loom at the totem bomb sites at Emu and the many Beadell markers along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for a Thorny Devil along the way. They are usually found track side and will put their heads and tails up if alarmed making them look like a curled piece of bark on the road.
Take plenty of notes and photos along the way as it makes it so much easier to write up your journal/
blogs later on (make sure the date on your camera is set correctly as
well ;-)
If you have the time while travelling down the Great Central, take the 70 km trip north on the
David Carnegie Road to
Empress Spring. The road is usually very
well maintained and a climb down the ladder into the
cave that saved Carnegies life way back when is worth it. There are also the
Tjukayirla caves and their ancient rock art. Ask at the
Tjukayirla Roadhouse as you go through.
There is a
good camp spot 17 km north of the GSR on the
Hunt Oil Road. Have a look at my blog on the Hunt. I have it marked there and in the
Places section on the EO site. Gets you a little of the main road and into the bush.
Lastly, make sure you post your
blogs so we can catch up on your adventures and enjoy the photos.
Safe travels
Mick
