Carnarvon - Mt Augustus

GIdday

Must be a glitch in their algorithm

It's what, just under 500km depending on route and the first bit (170) to Gascoyne Junction is bitumen.

It's a while since I was there and the conditions may vary particularly if it has rained but I would reckon you could do it in a day with some sightseeing.

Better still break the journey at Kennedy Range, a great spot.

Enjoy it

Cheers

We came out of Mt Augusta yesterday. Left 9.00a.m. arrived Gascoyne Junction approx 1.15 p.m. Came via Cobra/Dairy Creek road.

Went into Kennedy Range today, so glad we did.

Both places magnificent, lots of flowers.

Our Garmin, with latest maps, is giving crazy information.

Enjoy!

Bitumen carnarvon to gascoyne junction all the way wasn't case when i was there prior in 2010 but in july this year was full bitumen and then another 12 kms east along carnarvon -mullewa road.

You could go long way around via kenndey ranges and end up just west of Cobra station.

Back in 2010 it took me most of a day to do this route ie cobra to carnarvon -I'd break it up myself as now know few nice spots just east of gascoyne to pull up for the night

Anymore than 2 spits of rain roads are closed to protect them and big fines if you do travel on them.

We were lucky in July had big front come in from n/w got to Murchison and being Sunday road house wasn't sure of road conditions.

Refueled and got going a couple in same survey group as us was caught in Murchison for 2 days as result of the rain and they were not far behind us

Don't rely upon a navigation aid out bush they aren't reliable enough for remote roads good old map and maybe ozieplorer is better option all roads are signposted no fuel at burringurrah opposed to some info provided on tourist maps if you heading further south of mt augustus then next fuel meekatharra
