Gary Junction track

I'd have to agree with you. But as it was burnt out, I was wondering if it was a local, or someone who found themselves with a long walk home. Not too many ex local vehicles along there, unlike the GCR.

If they came from the East , they would have passed Willie Rockhole .

Well that's important isn't it Footie ?

Willie, I looked in vain for your rockhole. You certainly hid the track well :)))

Aha!! Looks like the culprit making a quick getaway! We came upon this burnt out car too and took a photo. We were about a month later than you on the Gary Junction Road.

Viv

Yes, he looks guilty, all right ! But the real expose is here home.iprimus.com.au/jimshire/pix.html

That makes me wish I was back out there!!!

Viv

Me Too !! But next time I'll take a c/t (yes, getting old and soft) Can't stand camping on the WA "pebbles".

Footy....

Well maybe you should try lying down... boom boom :-)

Richard, just getting down that far is starting to become a hassle! And getting back up again is problematic. Must be time to start checking out c/t's...hmm...the T Vans look good, but oh the price :))

Yes T-Van would have been my choice, but whet for the getaway off road CV for the dirt roads..

And only take the troopy out in the desert from now on after the CT broke down on the way out to Well 33 Kidson

Richard

Richard, what happened to the c/t and where ?

In 2005 we where travelling perth, 80mile, Kidson, Gary hwy, Connie sue, Cockebiddy, Esperance, Home...

Well that was the plan . broke a shocky mount ever on the kidson or from the old Kidson meats the access road to K-mart found it around haft way, got out to have a p and a look around found the inner side wall of the Rh tyre shredded, on a closer look found that the mount had riped a hole in the chassis, limped in to K-mart and got some RHS welded into chaise and we went and had a look at the NW, that's the time it last rained in WA and we ended up stuck in the mud for three days (they closed the roads around us) but that's another story

Richard

footy
read your report and photos.. great. but a comment you made got me wondering, you mentioned being in 2H at 40kph for most of the trip and was wondering why you use this and not 4L when travelling in this country. I know every body has there own way of doing it, and I usually use low unless i can maintain more than 50kph. Just curious
Bob

Jim good to read that trip report again.
It brings back a few fond memories and I have to agree with Viv.
It sure as hell reminds me how much I miss being out there especially as Melbourne is turning into it's cold wet and drab winter self :-(

Bob, you're right, it's another typo. Of course it was "L" not "H".

John, beautiful day here but a bit chilly. I've had to suppliment my shorts with a jumper...not a great look...but there again I never was :))

Bob, what's this K-Mart place you spoke of ? Maybe I'm just slow this morning but I can't think of a KMart anyway near that area :))

Yes agree Footy slow this morning for sure....:-) Its was Richard not Bob that was promoting K-Mart. LOL.

I wondering if its the K-Mart right beside Coles that he is refering to, you know on the left hand corner???

Sorry slang for KUNAWARRITJI

Richard

Richard, thanks for that :)) K mart much easier to pronounce and remember. I simply refer to it as Well 33, which of course it's not; the well being some km away.
When we were there in 06, they had a relatively new management team who we got along well with. I wished them a lotta luck :))

Cannot take credit for it, it's a Willem thing (shoulders slumped while typing)...LOL

git all the letters in it (the name that is)

Regards

Richard

Didn't realize that he had a sense of humour. I like it, whoever lays claim. Any more that you can share ?

No..looked more like a small 4wd to me, but I didnt get very close.
