Just an update on the
Hanging Rock western access into Rudall NP:
We are back in
home Broome now after an amazing 2 weeks in Rudall. We had intended to enter Rudall via Skull Springs Rd > SE to
Christie Crossing > East via
Bocrabee Hill to
Hanging Rock etc. All set with lots of planning, chatting to ExplorOz members, good offline Nav (ExplorOz), etc. Anyway, we never got in that way as we couldn't get down the track from Skull Springs to
Christie Crossing - 4 foot drop into the Davis
River Crossing made that impassible. I know you can go in another way around the back to Christie via
Pearana Rockhole but we didn't back track that way (probably impossible too this year). So....... we went around to Balfour Downs to ask if we could use their track to get to C.Crossing from the south. The answer was a firm "NO". Seems they are getting worried about foot and mouth disease (I chose not to tell them I'm a veterinarian).
Then we came into Rudall via Talawana and main Nth-Sth Road - easy. Fantastic few days at T'jarra
Pool - full of water, then thought we would go to
Hanging Rock and possibly
Bocrabee Hill in the opposite direction to original plan ie west-east. But the track has been swallowed by good wet seasons and after making it to Currun Currun
Waterhole, and getting
well stuck in a washout, we had to give up. We certainly knew they way but just couldn't find the track in the end. Another member has confirmed this with a similar story a week earlier.
I would love to hear from anyone who has made it to
Hanging Rock this year, from either Direction.
