The Historic
Ora Banda Inn is set to reopen after numerous closures due to Closure of the nearby
Mine then Bombings and most recently due to a lack of enthusuasim. It has finally changed hands and is set to reopen giving visitors to the Golden Quest Discovery Trail somwhere to whet their whistle. All thats needed now is some Water in
Rowles lagoon to fully restore this part of the trail

Thanks Davoe,
I had read somewhere that there was a couple of
old ruins along the track, though I dont know what was left of them or if they were of any interest. I thought it might have been a different route to get to the
Balladonia Rd and then down to Cape Arid, but if there is nothing to see along the track except burnt out country then we might as
well take the main road like you suggest.
Steve

There are
ruins along the track from Balladonia to Cape Arid. Ballbinya
homestead is one which is an interesting area which has been partially resotored. There is another
homestead to the West of the track but I havnt been there. Try the track if you want. It isnt overly Narrow or rough so wont add another day or anything to the trip.
I am Currently reading a book on the history of the area "Challenge in Isolation" I bought from the condy tavern
