Can't Sleep!!

Thanks Wayne. There seems to be a lot of mixed reports-emotions about Kalumburu. The way I see it you never really know until you check it out yourself. We're so close we might as well check it out. If we don't like it we can always go somewhere else! Now where are those notes on Drysdale River NP!!! Cheers. Tim

Thanks Vince. I feel for you mate. Tim.

Sorry a bit slow Footloose. Been doing some more packing. Yes, I do most of my exploring by myself. Did the Canning solo a few years ago. I love the solitude, do a lot of reading, fire and star gazing. Things I never seem to get time to do at home.
One day the odds may catch up with me and I'll have to use the EPIRB or satphone to call out the cavalry. I travel as light as I can to reduce vehicle stress, but don't skimp on tools, welding gear etc. Take my time,travel to the conditions and touch wood, I've never had any problems. Murphy will get me one day though, and it will be expensive, but I do my best to avoid him.
Have also been 3/4 down the Wapet in 2000, but someone put a BIG lake on the road and I had to go all the way back out again! Took the long way around and went home via the Gunbarrel.
See you in the scrub. Tim.

Tim, I've done a lot of travelling by myself also. Planning of doing the Gary and Kidson early June. Lots of epirb and radio and water carried. But I was worrying if my proposed route was a bit silly for one person one vehicle. I feel better now :)) Have a great trip.

Thanks Rox. Yes its funny the reaction you get from some people when you tell them that you're driving right across oz for a holiday! I get some very funny looks. Cheers. Tim.

G'day Bob. I actually haven't made up my mind wether to go down the Gary or the Eagle (David Carnegie Rd). A recent 4wd mag article made the eagle sound reasonably easy. I'd also like to have a look around the Warrie site. One day I'd like to do a trip across to there from the Calvert Range via Constance Headland. This way I would have seen both ends and would know what to expect in the future. Tim.

there's a photo here of the top end of the Gary. It is the two barely visible wheel tracks on the horizon in the middle of the pic labelled Gary Junction

I hope you've got a digital camera :-)
