Hi,
After being advised that the access track along the Trans Australia Railway is closed east of
Rawlinna, we have decided to travel from Kalgoorlie as far as we are permitted, then turn southwards to the Eyre Highway and come out at bleeplebiddy & return east along the bitumen. Looking at the Hema 'Great Desert
Treks' S.W. sheet, there are a number of tracks that we can use to do this.
Has anyone been this way of recent times or got any information?
Dick

My goodness, semantics, semantics. Must be a quiet afternoon.
'bleeplebiddy' is the place. Anyway, error is the price of skill, as they say.

"Bleeplebiddy" it is.
The internal memo program that existed in the place I worked had some type of filtering process that was supposed to exclude inappropriate language, however, it was found that a great many appropriate words were being excluded because of their makeup. So it was done away with.
I wonder if my shortened name is appropriate?

On a more serious note, perhaps the guys that operate this web site can rectify this.

I'm planning on doing the same in a few months.
I phoned up Westprint last week to get a copy of their Plumridge Lakes Map. Graeme told me that lots of people travel the Trans-Aust Railway track and they make a map that covers the full length of this track!!
Hema mark the bleeplebiddy to
Rawlinna road as a station track.

Hi Richard,
I did the same last August. I spoke to a railways employee at
Rawlinna and they weren't aware that the track was closed, but I didn't have the time to double back if they were wrong so I didn't
test that.
It took a couple of hours messing around to find the correct track south from
Rawlinna, having a GPS really helped! Once on the right track it was quite easy to find the way with fairly regular signposts.
The correct track is through a station
gate just to the west of the
Rawlinna townsite. Look for the benchmarks that are marked on the map as a good guide to where you are.
The track is quite slow going in
places, lots of
limestone. Took about 4 hours from
Rawlinna to Cokklebiddy (deliberate spelling!).
Cheers

I wish this was brought to my attention at the time I would have fixed it straight away. It has now been rectified due to someone actually email me the problem.
I DO NOT READ EVERY POST SO TELL ME WHEN IT IS NOT RIGHT SO I CAN FIX IT WILL YOU.Regards
