Place Comment: Nyinmy

Yes, I saw it on wikicamps as I was headed west. But I wanted to get to Jupiter Well before it got dark.

My itinerary had me backtrack to the east so I had time to explore it then.

I knew nothing of it before I visited. I thought maybe it had been a work camp. Perhaps for people putting up the Telstra relay towers, or working on the road.

The road in that area obviously has had a bit of work. For one thing, it does not follow Len's original alignment. As demonstrated by the displacement between the nearby Len blaze tree and the current roadway.

Yeah, my internet search didn't turn up much. Other than the link above. And a few pictures taken in the area, with captions that mention a Nyinmy outstation.

There's also the Wikicamps entry, but it likewise provides little information.

Aha, it's supposed to be spelled "Nyinmi"!
Searching using that spelling brings up a lot more results. Thanks!

One thing I found was a 2014 to 2019 IPA plan. Which mentioned it as an outstation that's occasionally used. But by the time I saw the place in 2019, it looked rather tattered.

Nice find! I drove past there twice but I don't remember seeing that. Is the house visible from the Gary Junction Road?

Don’t recall, Candace. You may be able to see the roof, if travelling east, but some hills would block your view while heading west.

These are co-ordinates, according to Mr Hema: 23°07.340’S, 128°41.165’E

Definitely not in such good condition by 2019! Thanks for the info.
