Mt Augustus trip

1/2 your luck now I have a permanant job that will be my next holiday destination. Without a map infront of me I would head north to canarvon taking in the sights on the way (if you havnt already seen them) then go via the gascoyne junction road which takes in rocky pool and a National park (the name of which escapes me) should be plenty of good sightseeing

Dan,

Kennedy Range might be nice in cooler weather, but the heat from the range made it pretty unbearable in October for me and the kids.

Cobra station homestead looked a nice place to camp or stay in the homestead and only a couple of hours from Kennedy Range.

You can easily get from Mt Augustus "resort" to Tom Price and Paraburdoo along the station tracks. You drive out the back of the resort, past the fuel bowsers, around the sheds and find the signs pointing to Paraburdoo. Not all that obvious initially. You cross Dooley Downs country, then turn left towards Ashburton Downs. Turn right just before you get there and head back to the bitumen on the Nanaturra to Paraburdoo Road. Tracks are shown on decent maps of the area.

It was really hot and we weren't keen to stop, I drove alone with the kids from Kennedy Range to Tom Price in one long day.

Enjoy.
