Hi folks,
We're plotting our Canning/Anne Beadell trip for this year and have run into one of the Woomera exclusion periods affecting our preferred travel dates.
It looks like we can still get down to Maralinga from either Volkes Hill or Emu (the closure is just the narrow Woomera Amber Zone 2 corridor which does not include Emu).
Has anyone tried an alternative route across to the Stuart Hwy (eg from Anne's Corner to the north of Woomera, hopefully without going all the way up to the Gunbarrel)?
Or has anyone travelled east along the transcontinental railway access road from Maralinga to Glendambo - does "prohibited access" mean what it says, or just not a good idea??
Any advice appreciated, before we start shifting dates.
Thanks

Sort of defeats the purpose of a forum?

Cheers,

Maybe so Peter, but gets a response to an OP without vicious criticism?

No, I did NOT make "private contact". lol

Certainly doesn't defeat the purpose Peter - we've made some good friends among like-minded travellers, introduced via the forum and then built on shared experience and interests.

Secretive answers don't really help people following a thread.

I apologise to those who feel that they 'missed out' by me sending a private message to the OP.

To be honest I wanted to convey some important private information to someone I know and trust. I don't want that information broadcast to a general audience because of privacy, the content, and general criticism that seems to appear on this forum on some comments.

It seems that the level of criticism has even extended to using the EO tools such as messaging. Perhaps EO should ban messaging to keep some happy. Is that really what is being suggested here?

I never intended for my information to help onlookers, it was very specific for the OP.

Once again, sorry if you feel excluded. It was a private matter in a private message. I seriously can't see anything wrong with that.

If people genuinely feel left out or isolated please understand I am not targeting anyone and it is not about you, please refer to this help page or call Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636
