Just wanted to know where to go to get some info on travelling the Kidson Track (Wapet Road) from Great Northern Hwy to
Canning Stock Route. Has anyone done this trip and how was it?

Willem Hi.
would not you have done all of the kidson, didn't you travel from the creator up to
Kunawarritji?
Kidson only travels to Kidson
Bluff
WAPET Road travel to Patience oil
well, so tectonically (had to use spell
check) you will have driven the most of all.. I think
Cheers
Richard
just applied for the five permits to do the AB, oh what a feeling.. :-)

Yep, piece of cake. Drove much of it at night. The best part is the highway at the end of it (GNH) :)))

We did the Kidson in 2005, we had to leave the CSR because of rain, (15 vehicles were bogged from
Well 33 to
Well 48) so we exited from
Well 33 (Kunnawaritji), went up to
Halls Creek and down to
Well 48, missed the 15 wells in between. We enjoyed the Kidson.
Cheers

Travelled the WAPET/Kidson mid 2007 on liesurely 6 day trip. There's a few pics on 'my rig' page. Will try to find earlier post on this and will post a few more pics later today.
Track is easy going but also easy to come unstuck. A good, untravelled track. Few scenic highlights.
Best regards
Chris

One thing others have not told you , or didn't know about . Towards the northern end , about 50k from the blacktop from memory . Look for some rocky bluffs with what appear to be cavers . There's , or was a pullin spot below them on the northern side of the track . You should find some old paintings . Look close as they are faint , but they are there . Cheers Errol
