Water on the Canning Stock Route

At this present time the Canning is impassable between wells 23 and 26 with a 620 km detour via Rudall NP and Telfer mines if you want to complete it. .I suggest you to join the Canning group to see this information and much more. Three of us EO members will do a section of it in late June. Entering at Well 33 and exit on the Puntawarri track as part of a six week remote trip. https://www.facebook.com/groups/canningstockroute/ Water at wells CSR ,posted by one of there members a few weeks ago
Well 05 - restored in 2004.

Well 06 (Pierre Springs) - water should be drinkable.

Well 12 - rebuilt, bring your own bucket and rope.

Well 15 - reconstructed, bring your own bucket and rope.

**Well 18 - rebuilt, the water should be clear but may taste salty.

**Georgia Bore - the water from two large tanks tastes pure and should not require treatment.

**Well 26 - fully restored.

**Well 33 - windmill and bore producing high quality fresh drinking water.

Well 41 - subject to flooding, restored in 1994, has provided excellent drinking water at times but "quality is highly variable". The water is sometimes a bit beer coloured (not a problem), but if it's cloudy it will clog and ruin filters.

Well 46 - restored in 1991, excellent water.

Well 49 - reconstructed well, Beautiful water

Thanks for the update. Am anticipating South North in early July. Hopefully track will be open then.

Hi DB, we did the Canning in 2013 from well 5 to 23. Fabulous trip in early May towing an old Campomatic. Check out all the pix in Places at each well to get an idea of campsites and well and water quality. We figured that there was good water every 4th or 5th well so did not carry too much at all. Take care with the bucket at well 6 as it came to grief when overloaded and sank. Should be great flowers with all the rain up there..... W

Travelled north to south last year exiting at Georgia Bore and i'm glad that we didn't rely on any of them for water. Smelly, salty and just didn't appeal to us.
I wouldn't rely on them for drinking.
