Ruins etc Are they worth looking at. Any really difficult sections. Any sights off the track. Any Waypoints etc

The old
cemetery at
Bulong is
well worth a look. Those folks back at the turn of the century (20th) sure did it tough. You can still see the old streets of the town cut through the trees.
Lake Yindarlgooda can be quite pretty when dry, but I don't like your chances this year.
CALM do a little book called 'Common Trees of the Goldfields' which costs about 6 bucks and is
well worth getting. Finally found out what those coppery / gold trees are called - Gimlets. They look absolutely magic at sunset.
Love it out in the Kalgoorlie goldfields, the area has a special feel to it. So much history too.
Sounds like a beaut trip....have fun!

I was out the back of noresman ove rthe
easter holidays and we ran into the landrover club. They had just come from the Fraser Range and the remainder of their trip sounded similair to yours. From what they were saying, some of their members spend a bit of time out that way, so it may be worth getting in touch with that club, or
check their web page to see if they have any info on it.
One of my favourite areas out there in the goldfields, have fun!!
