Mid-west WA - route ideas?

Have you been to Mt Augustus? Then you could go via Nullagine and Marble Bar
and see a little different scenery. We hope to do tthe inland back routes on the way NW in July August

G'day Sigmund

There are a couple of real alternate routes from Hedland to Shark bay on the inland journey.

You don't say whether you are driving a four wheel drive, towing a caravan or camper, so it makes it difficult to suggest anything that might be useful to you.

You correctly say that heavy rains are forecast for the entire north west, all unsealed roads be they major routes or roads into and through Karijini, Millstream, Kennedy Ranges or the Collier Ranges National Parks ~ will be closed to all traffic.

Marble Bar to Nullagine is mainly unsealed, Nullagine to Newman ~ sealed in some sections, but this road is always closed when there is rainfall over a prescribed amount in the region.

The Great Northern Highway and the Coastal Highway are both subject to flooding/closure and these are sealed major highways.

Safe travels : Joe

Many thanks for the great ideas folks. I'll pore over the map. And watch the road alerts.

We aren't really restricted by the rig. I would've said. It's a capable 4wd and offroad camper trailer.
