We are starting to plan our next trip (2002) Can anyone answer some, or all of the following questions:
* Is there fuel available at Billiluna (Tanami Track)
* What are the track conditions like between Billiluna and well 23 on the
Canning Stock Route- say in comparison to the French Line across the
Simpson Desert
*Similarly, what are the track conditions like from well 23 to
Windy Corner then down the Gary H/Way to the Gunbarrel
*Finally, is fuel theft at well 23 becoming a real problem.
Thanks, Kim

KIM. YES THERE IS FUEL AT BILLILUNA. TRACK CONDITIONS? AFTER TRAVELING BOTH, THE SIMPSON I FOUND WAS A SUNDAY DRIVE. I CANT COMMENT ON THE
WINDY CORNER BIT. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT WELL 23 WITH FUEL.

Hello Kim, yes fuel is available at the Kunawarajji community at Billiluna, but the managers do recommend you call and make sure they have stock, I travelled the CSR from
Wiluna to Well 33 this year towing a camper trailer and had no problems, I will add that we were set up correctly, I would not recommend towing any Isolated track unless you have complete confidence. At well 23 fuel dump, there was fuel that was stolen [low lifes] and our own drum was short on its 205lts. Any info I can help you with feel free to e-mail me.
