Does Glenayle or
Carnegie Station (adj to
Well 9 CSR) sell fuel ? ULP.
I'm sure that this info is on here somewhere but I can't find it !
Heading back to the Calvert Ra in June.

Fuel is available at
Carnegie Station but as far as I know Glenayle doesn't supply fuel. You also need a permit to access Glenayle Station.
Check the trek notes on the Gunbarrel & CSR routes. Cheers.

Hi Colin,
as has been said, fuel is available at
Carnegie.
A couple of years ago we also were able to get diesel at
Granite Peak station.
Its a spectacular drive to
Granite Peak, we didn't need to pay for a permit or access fee and you'll hit the CSR near
well 5.
If you are planning to go that way you best phone first just to make sure that they have the fuel you need.
Enjoy,
Mike

Thanks for the info chaps - it is what I thought - we will probably go via
Carnegie and fill up there, but will take a 200 lt drum in trailer (from
Perth) so we can top-up all cars (3 or 4 Foresters) before
Well 9 CSR (leave trailer).
The track north of
Well 5 was badly corrogated in '01 - so the Glenayle route should be smoother/faster and the extra fuel from drum will mean we will only need to carry one Gerry can each - minimum 600 kms return from Glenayle + 240 to
Carnegie (thats is 220 kms less fuel than going from
Wiluna). Worst fuel consumption is usually about 8.5 Kms/Ltr.
We might also have a look at Constance Hedland if the fuel thing works out OK.
