Anne Beadell west of Point Sunday Road

We have just returned from a trip including the Maralinga tour and from there to Vokes Corner and west across the Anne Beadell. Though the corrugations are no less than in 2010, we enjoyed the desert and the remoteness.

However, we were very surprised to come upon a STOP sign and major road works just west of Point Sunday Road. There appeared to be a considerable amount of infrastructure being built which the signs indicated might be for gold mining.

From this point to Yamarna, the Anne Beadell was both very wide and very smooth, with a number of intersections. Near Yamarna there was a T junction complete with large green and white road signs: north to Great Central Road and south to Laverton. Further towards Yamarna was a very large and apparently very new airfield.

Eventually the excellent road gave way to the normal Anne Beadell, but even along this there were signs that large masts were soon to erected.

Does anyone know if these works are related to the post by Gary T7?

Thanks, Kathie
