The old Stuart hwy into Bon Bon station north of the
Kingoonya turn off now has a barrier fitted and warning signs to prevent people using it. The road is no longer maintained and the Station owners dont want people using it at all.

Hi Ivan, as already stated, the roads into Bon Bon Station are now all closed to the general public. As Judy and I are members of Bush
Heritage, they hold a station tour once a year and limited to 12 people. When we were there last (just prior covid) Clint Taylor the station manager stated that he and volunteers were slowly removing all internal fence lines as
well as all man made dams. This was to revert back to the natural landscape. and deter unwanted animals like pigs gathering at water sources etc.
As for Mt Eba Station, the owners Margie Whittlesea, have also locked some gates as to discourage civil traffic. They also own several other stations in that general area.
Just for useless info, Bon Bon opens a particular track/road for 6 weeks that
woomera allocate, as Mt Eba etc need to transport cattle off the properties. Official can close that window at any time, but will allow enough time for the trucks to leave,
