Staying at Ninghan Station

Thanks Scooby

Yep old Don.

Try and get a detailed map of the place makes getting around and exploring easer, If ya keep you eye out may even come across some of that valuable yellow rock.

Exploder

Know of where i can get my hands on a detailed map?

I have bumped my head too many times keeping eyes down looking for yellow it happens to be my wifes favourite color.

I had one, but have misplaced it unfortunately, I could have photocopied it and cent you a copy, Will rummage throe the cupboards sometime soon and if I find it will let you know, One of my mates might have it lying around his place somwhere.

We where up they’re over Easter and I was pulling my hair out trying to remember where I put the stuffing thing before we left, Ended up borrowing Don’s map of the place, the Gt northern runs throe the middle of the station, I have only ever been on the In-land side (Mt Singleton, Lake Moore.)

Perhaps try DOLA or Department of Environment.

So if anyone spotted a Once Green Explorer that was Covered in Red Mud driving around Perth Easter Tuesday, that was Me, I have since Washed it 3 times and the friggen thing’s still producing red dirt Yay.

The Chart and Map Shop in Collie St Freo should be able to sell you a 1:50,000 map of the area if that's what you're after. DLI in Midland are the 'source' if that's closer. There's also a joint in Hay St Perth next to 78's that sells them too.

Come to think of it, Paynes Find Roadhouse had some Auslig stuff too. Very progressive of them I thought.

AFAIK there is no Govt produced 50,000 scale map of that area - you will have to get 100,000 scale map (Map Sheet 2339 has Ninghan on it..I think). I would ring the Chart and Map Shop (Freo) or Map World (Perth City) before heading in as they may not have all the 100K in stock - DLI in Midland should have them all (I guess).

Cheers

Thanks V8

Will have a look in Freo and hay street.

What was the road like through murchison and Mt Augustus will be towing trailer.

Fairly cut up and very soggy in parts. The grader I was following on one section just sank. Not much we could do but crack a beer and wait. The Gascoyne River was flowing fast but only a foot or so deep. I'd say you'd be fine by now.

I towed a 8x4 tandem trailer. Except for one section where it tried to overtake me, there were no worries at all.
