Googs Gawler Ranges

Blaze
I have a track on my gps POI page , but the reverse of what you want and I started it from Kingoonya, but by following the track in reverse would fix that , you could do that or make a route using the track as a guide , if you stuff it up just delete it and download it again,
but the gps will follow the track backwards anyhow .

Just had a look at T4A mapping and the Googs is on it, exactly where my track is too , spot on

Geez Blaze, you got insomnia or something...lol

Go to my website below, click on 4x4 and then Gawler and Googs for some info on the area.

Cheers

For what it's worth (something to start with) there is a reasonable article in the May edition (current) of the Caravan & Motorhome (page 152) of a trip from Ceduna onto Googs Track then into Yumbarra Conservation Park, Googs Lake, Lakes Track, Mount Finke, Tarcoola, Stuart Highway and then Glendambo. Well worth a read if you haven't been into that area before. A few hints and tips, things to see, places to go - you know. O'h yeah, a few piccy's as well.

Gday Blaze,
We did that trip a few years back. Went to Googs lake, camped 2 days and did the run east down to Nagara rock (Sp). then camped next night at Mt Finke, then followed the railway line to Glendambo for a night at the pub and refuel. then came back to Kingoonya and south along the road that runs on the west side of Lake Gairdner, spent a night at Mt Ive then back to adelaide.
Googs track is usually very corrugated. Every other road will be well graded. Your fuel consumption will be similar to highway running.

If you were looking at travelling east from Googs Lake, and then east back into Gawler Ranges, you'd need permission from Everard Station.

I may have a track file at home - will email it later if I can find it.

Cheers
Phil

Just don't go looking for fuel in Kingoonya. Last time I went there (about 4 years ago) and asked at the pub they said, "You're about 5 years too late mate". Since then, I believe, the pub has closed, and has now re-opened. Fuel situation currently unknown. Make further inquiries if you think you will need fuel (or beer).
