Anne Beadell Highway

Hi Werner

The Hema SW Desert map is pretty much all you need - the Westprint map is out of date & adds nothing to what the Hema map gives.

The Ilkurlka (pron Ill gooka) roadhouse is 165 km west of the WA/SA border and hence about 880 km from Coober Pedy. Sells diesel & petrol 9-5 Mon - Fri weekends by appointment only. Ph (08) 9037 1147. No credit cards or EFTPOS so take cash.

If you have a GPS, stop at the 127th meridien where there is a nice little brass plaque that you would otherwse scream past. It was put there by Bill & Prue Singleton of Narrabri in 1997. If you don't have a GPS it's about 9km west of the first shed tank west of Ilkurlka

Also don't miss Bishop Riley's Pulpit, east of Yeo's Lake.

Gave a great trip.

Cheers, Paul B, Kalgoorlie

G'day Werner,
It looks as if there's gonna be a few doing the Anne Beadell this year. When are you looking at going?? We are planning on leaving Coober Pedy about July 19th.
You should have no fuel problems...especially with Diesel.
