There is a track shown on the Hema map from Victoria Hwy to Stuart Hwy through Dry Rived and Western Creek. Has anyone travelled this route?
Am curious what
ruins there might be at Old Dry River

Haven't been through there Warren, though have been past the turnoffs you mention years ago.
Can't see why you couldn't get through, permission pending, as some of the roads are station access roads, and the roads between each may
well be a road mail route? Otherwise there is often a reasonable road between each, to use to recover cattle picked up during mustering.
Old Dry River may not be much of any interest. As I recall Dry River was a block annexed off one of the bigger stations in that area in 1964. Either Willeroo, Delamere or Killarney, can't remember now. That would be the original
homestead site, but may have moved by a subsequent owner, to a more accessible/liveable site. Might be hut or cottage, a shed and watering facility there but little else. Bet there's a good supply of empty "stumpies" in the rubbish dump though. :-)
