Hi all, happy New Year to everyone.
I'm planning a trip up the CSR with a camper trailer (C/T) later this year and looking for somewhere to leave it near
Well 5 so I can travel from
Wiluna to
Well 5 (or vice versa) without it attached to the tug. Does anyone know if
Granite Peak Station or Glenayle Station would be happy to store the C/T there for a couple of days while I do a loop along the bottom section of the CSR and back? Any other suggestions for potential alternatives would also be welcomed from those who've done a similar trip with a C/T in the past.
We're not new to travelling through desert country with the C/T in tow and have a more than capable rig to undertake the trip. I'm looking for assistance in solving my desire to travel the whole length of the CSR on this trip since its a long way to go when you live in
Melbourne.
Looking forward to getting some good suggestions from previous CSR travellers.
Cheers
Rob K

Trailers make so much more difficult. We took a single axle down the Canning and was bloody near impossible to drag over some of the bigger dunes. I'd give the stations a ring and ask them about leaving it at one.

We did it with camper trailers & had no real issues.
Why not just call
Granite Peak & ask them?

This has been mentioned on EO sometime in the past, Rob. Don't remember which one of the 2 stations you referrred to do this, but seemed happy to do so.......for a small fee.
It may even be in the CSR trek notes?

The Ward Family from
Granite Peak (
Well 9) are very nice people. Call, they are sure to help you.
Well 5 Carnegie Station people are also used to travellers. Why not call directly.

Cunyu Station (Wells 3 and 4) people don't encourage traveller interaction.
Failing all that, why not hide trailer in bush somewhere, not near a
well with a note to please leave alone, You will be back. Arnold Schwarzenegger?
