Has anyone been out there? Good write-up in the
West Great Victoria Desert Trek Notes.
We are planning to go there in Jul/Aug. Any warnings or suggestions etc?
Also planning to spend time at
Waterfall Gorge.
Any other POIs off the Connie Sue between Neale Jn and
Warburton that we shouldn't miss?
Thanks.

Have heard of
Sydney Yeo Chasm but we were on another mission at that time and didn't get there.
Waterfall Gorge is only accessible from the top. There was a small
pool of water at the start of the falls in 2005. You would have to
camp at the top of
the gorge on hard stoney ground with no shade but your own.
Neale Breakaways are good to have a drive in an a look. It lies south of
Neale Junction. There is some rubbish left behind by roadmakers Not sure who?
I have looked in trek notes here on EO but have not found any reference to it yet.

Sydney Yeo: Site Link
Go to my website below and under 4x4 you can read an article The BIg Trip 2005 where I describe some of the
Neale Breakaways.
Cheers

Thanks Willem.
Your Big Trip 2005 is most interesting - and really
well written. We have changed our plans to include a night at
Neale Breakaways. Google Earth shows a biggish tree providing plenty of shade on the road in, and that might be a
good spot to stop.
I also can't find much else in addition to the EO Trek Notes about Syd Yeo, but Stewy has convinced me to spend two nights there.

Point Sandercock (do some research on this place first)
Ryans
Bluff & Hanns Tabletop
Mt Irving (near
Sydney Yeo Chasm)
Waterfall Gorge (walk about 5-600m to the N for
The Arch)
Mackenzie Gorge (awesome vista to the W)
Beadell Ridge (stop for a cuppa and take it all in)
If you're travelling North- I suggest you
camp about 40k S of
Warburton. The into
Warburton for showers & refuel- then move on.
My opinion only- ' Bad vibes in Warburton" .
Have a gtreat trip- if I can be of further help, let me know.

Spent two nights camped at
Sydney Yeo Chasm Sep 06. Track in it rough and washed out in
places, but
well worth the trip in. Spent a full day exploring the area and having a roast dinner. www.orvc.asn.au/ under News+Reports "The Bomb Roads " is the trip report for the group

Thanks Stewy.
Your "Bomb Roads" is a great report and very helpful.
We've changed our plans, and now intend also to spend 2 nights at Syd Yeo.
