DeGrey Mullewa stockroute

Mel, Do you mean the entire stock route (Mullewa to De Grey River) or just the "Heritage Trail" section ( Mullewa to Tallering Peak)?

Mel, maps I have suggest that to gain access to the general path of the stock route would require contacting numerous pastoral lease owners - its not like the Canning (in mores ways than one).

Gi'day Mel, The track you are enquiring about is the Carnarvon-Mullewa Stock Route going from Carnarvon via Gascoyne Junction,Dairy Creek,Glenburgh, Byro, Murchinson Roadhouse, down to Mullewa, I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyhow I have done this track a couple of times, the last 12 months ago. It is a fairly easy track for any 4wd provided they haven't had too much rain. Last time there was a detour of about 20km's around a swamp area just south of Murchinson Roadhouse. Take it easy at creek and floodway crossings, particularly after rains, most have adequate signage before hazard. You will enjoy the trip if you take your time. Plenty of camping sites off the road, particularly along the various rivers and creeks you cross, ask at Murchinson R/H, very helpful in giving good locations for camping. Have a good trip and enjoy the scenery. Good Travelling, Peter.

I know the DeGrey station owners (and others) are touchy about people on their pastoral lease. This is primarily due to past travellers abusing the privilege (I have heard of prize bulls being shot etc). I would advise you to either contact pastoralists along the way or settle for the heritage trail.

Mel, Peter was partially correct in his advice on the route of the stock route. If you travel the road from Mullewa to Gascoyne Junction you will, along certain sections, be on the old stock route - not that you would know by just looking as this roud is a pretty major as far as gravel roads go. From Gascoyne Junction you can head north towards Lyons River Stn station and also cover sections of the stock route. The Kennedy Ranges are the major attraction in this area and well worth the trip. North of Minnie Creek is where following the stock route becomes difficult. Having said that I must say I havent researched its location much past Robe/Fortescue River - you may be able to pick up bits and pieces from here - dont know. Hope this helps

And Mel (and others) if you are interested in compiling your trip research into a format that could be presented on ExplorOz to share with other readers we would love to hear from you. Please communicate directly with michelle on her email address given on our Contact Us page. Sounds great!
