Hi ADM
I still think that it is still out of bounds(It was when I enquired recently)
All you can do is apply for your permit on line. If granted, you will have to come down from Giles, as the SA side in the APY Lands is still no go.

Check out and register on line at this site:

Hope this helps you out.

Cheers

You can access Surveyor generals OK and the permit application is made on-line. The $100 fee is paid at the township when you arrive. I posted this earlier this year

"if you search the forum you should find the answers you need as I posted full details several times earlier this year. You can obtain the permit on-line via WA Gov DIA website. You'll also need one for the Great Eastern at the same time. They usually take a couple of weeks to email the permit back to you.

Once you get down to Wingellina, just go straight to the general office (centre of town past the basketball court and he store. There they'll take $100 per vehicle and $20 per person, issue you a receipt and get one of the local elders either Mr Ferguson (Donald) or Mr Eddy (Whose land the corner is on) will accompany you down.

A good idea would be to ring the office, or if no answer, the store, a day or two before you arrive just to make sure someone is there. If their in the middle of sorry time for a funeral for example, there could be no one about for weeks.

I hope to do Mt Davies Road next year but permits for the top section are hard to get. You'll have to approach it from the GCR as no permits are being issued for the Giles Mulga Park Road west of the station where you turn north to head to Curtain Springs (Can't recall the name) and also from Wingelina to Warburton via Blackstone. It's in and out on the same track from the GCR."

It's Surveyor Generals Corner.

And next time I go there I wouldn't mind coming down that track on the NT side.

In '97 I came down from Giles and then exited east on the Gunbarrel Highway (now the Giles-Mulga Park Road??)

Cheers

You should'n't have a problem getting down there.

It is a shame the Wingellina community is a bit disfunctional ATM.
Ring before you go to remind them you are coming.

If you have any problems drop me a line and I can give you a few tips.

I was there at easter and continued on down to ILLkurlka road house on the anne beadell hwy.

I had my permit for this area back within two weeks of application.

Here is what the permit said.
"Great Central Road to Warakurna, then down to Irrunytju to the Surveyor General’s Corner. Then down to Illkurlka Roadhouse via the Tjuntjuntjarra Road."
