Blog Review: Great Central Road

Thanks again for reading our long blog Paul. Yes we always seem to find ourselves in some unusual situations. I realise I forgot to include photos of the paintings we purchased from Warakurna Art Gallery too so I'll try to update it when I get a chance.

Really good read, thanks D and M.

The Laverton servo folk ( Kiwis) saved our bacon on a Sunday by properly repairing a tricky puncture.
Really friendly couple, from Tauranga, where our son and his family have made their home.

thanks for an excellent review of GCR. I can only echo your comments on the drive.
however I feel it important to stress the situation at Docker River (both the community and the free camp).
we accidentally drove in to the community (no police), to be met by signs everywhere that said (keep out, no entry, no visitors etc).
Could not get out of the place quick enough!
Moved onto the free camp a couple of kms up the road to be met by an overgrown dirty dump, with abandoned huts all over. 10 mins after stopping, along came the first of two locals in a beat up old car. refused to open van door, so after 10 mins they left, only to be followed 5 mins later by another car full. same story, locked ourselves inside van and waited for them to leave.
packed up and moved as soon as they had gone. After 7 yrs full time travelling this is the only time we have felt unsafe and had to move.

I think the difference must be that I was the only camper there.
Vast difference to there being 8 or 9 others, but glad you found it OK.
I can only report my experiences
