We would like visit the Canarvon Ranges (WA) and wonder if some kind
soul could give us information about tracks, availability of water and features in the ranges worthwhile to visit.
Thank you for your help

We 'Subarued' the
Carnarvon Ra August 2001. The Ra was our 'way out' after travelling South down the CSR from Jigalong/Durba/Calvert etc. We approached
Carnarvon from
Well 5 in NW direction through Blue Hills (Blue Hills was a station run by an Aboriginal called Tommy Ingebong - the Ra at
Well 6 is called Ingebong) to Trig statiom M6. Great 360
views from M6 and fine examples of 'ripple marks' in
rock formation.
We camped at
Serpents Glen for 3 days - lots of Aboriginal art. Not a lot of water but a nice '
rock bath' above
camp was used. There is ample water and
good camp site at
Talbot WH in the North section of Ra. We travelled out (track runs East from
Serpents Glen)to Hwy via Neds Creek Hmstd. All tracks were good - we used 1:250 000 Topo and Geology maps. Would be good protocol to contact station before entering. Hope this info is helpful - Colin
