Hmmm,
where to start. I have particular pride in the photos of the Beadell Plaques I've collected over the years. By no means complete but
well on the way.
My photo collection of Beadell Plaques - 33 and counting.
There are a few more to hunt down.
Cheers
Mick

Hi Mick, I'm damn sure you have "collected" many more Beadell plaques than I.
But have you got one with a genuine Beadell in it?
This is the "Tropic of Capricorn"
plaque on the
Sandy Blight Junction Road, and for those who may not know, that is Connie Beadell, Lennie's daughter, on the right.
Somewhat less significant are Roz and myself.

Yes mate I have. I run into Connie Sue and Mick on an infrequent basis while out and about. Usually somewhere between the Anne Beadell and The
Pilbara. The last time was in 2018 at Desert Queen Baths when their convoy pulled in for a gander. If you have a look at the Rudall Highlights Vid I posted last year, the convoy up against the wall at DQB is theirs (at 1:39 in the video) with their Landrover out front. Connie Sue is the person walking down the track to the north.

Hi 2208mate
That one took some thinking, as we have travelled many of his great tracks, but in the end, I had to select the Emu to
Maralinga Road, where we had been given special permission on 4 occasions before it is now totally closed to everyone.
This was only a short 2 day drive, but you were totally guaranteed never to see one other vehicle. It had ever changing scenery, lots of both Aboriginal and European history.

Hi Boobook
The
Emu Road is a walk in the park and mostly flat travel and what dune systems there are, they are just mere humps in the road.
One thing that we did find was considering it was a rarely driven road, the first few times it was smooth as, but the last couple of drives was developing corrugations.
From
Nawa Junction heading north, it is a firm road, slightly stoney, and as you slowly head north and get into the a Black Oak country, that’s when the red dirt starts., then continues almost all of the way until just north of Emu when the country opens up, the sand gives way to stoney country.
As for the
Cook to
Voakes Hill Corner Road, those minor dunes in the northern section are again easy and nothing like say
Googs Track.
If you need any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
