Muggon track Murchison WA

It's easy enough going in a fourby, though I'd hesitate to go in a two wheel drive vehicle. The country has degraded over the years with overstocking and feral goats doing most of the damage. We've had bugger all rain this year so the Murchison River crossing will be dead easy.

There's not a hell of a lot to see, other than Tallering Peak (which can be seen in the distance and is soon to become Tallering hole - a victim of the iron-ore industry.)

The only fuel commercially available is at the Murchison Settlement - a small deviation from Muggon. I don't know if Muggon Bill still owns Muggon Station but he 's a bit of a character.

If you head West once you get to Butcher's Track, you come across a road that runs parallel to the easement of the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline. If you head north on that road you can go through Talisker, Yalardy, Gilroyd, Towrana, Winderie and Jimba Jimba Stations to Gascoyne Junction, crossing the Wooramel River on Gilroyd Stn.

It's not a bad drive but as a Scottish workmate of mine once said to me...

"You know what? Out here most of Australia looks like the rest of Australia"

....and I tend to agree with him.

Hi

We have come in from Carnarvon Mullewa road into Yallalong Homestead and then north to Wail ....with the previous Yallalong Station owners permission about 2 years ago.......track was Ok...but travelling North from the homestead to Wail can be quite confusing with numerous internal station tracks....knowing the then owner of Yallalong helped considerably.....(Wail is an outcamp owned by Yallalong)

Our intention was always to terminate at Wail and then we returned south crossed the Murchison at Yallong Homestead turned West ...on through Coolcalalya and out to the Coastal Highway

Suggest it would be very prudent to speak with the present owners of Yallalong so as to ensure that all is Ok with them and get their coperation.....despite what roads show as public access some of these run right through the homestead complex and you can find yourself wandering around their back / front yard trying to find which myarid of tracks gets you out of there......Leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable and invasive....Yallalong Homestead and Coolcalalya are both like that
