Skull Creek road and on to Running Waters etc

Thanks Phil. I appreciate firsthand knowledge. We plan on getting there mid next week hopefully.

At the moment we are filling in time south of Newman waiting on 2 items to arrive in Newman.!

As usual Australia Post told lies about the "express post" delivery time. It went from the 16th when the item was lodged a week ago to now the 23rd as of this morning. I expected that as we live rural and Australia Post have always been a joke to us

The other item from Border Express explicitly told the sender verbally it would be 6 days and once again, once posted that went to 17 days. So, in theory both are now the 23rd.

Unfortunately, I need both items as they are replacing out of action items

Might see you there perhaps

This is quite bizarre, but make of it what you will.....
I just spoke to the Shire office. They are adamant that the Skull Springs road is CLOSED and the web site is correct. There is a grader working on it now. BUT there is no sign saying it is closed, because they have run out of signs. :) :) :)

I understand that. We made contact with them many years ago, long before Rippon Hills road. Have been in contact each time we went back. In the early years.

Went back after the cyclone smashed it. Have photos somewhere of us driving though country with sphinx standing in 1m deep water.
Lyall and Robin are good people.

We've driven the road through Warrawagine Station a few times but always ring first to ask if it's OK. Haven't done it for a couple of years but will do soon hopefully.
First time I went to Carawine Gorge was from Telfer when I worked there back in '81- 82. Lots of trees there then before the big cyclone which destroyed many. No Rippon Hills Rd either from memory.
Enjoy the trip.

PS. Turn right at the bottom of the air strip as going straight on leads into a large gravel area which has caught a few people stuck up to the floor. :)
