Exmouth/Kennedy Ranges/Wool Wagon Pathway

Hi Ash,

Click on this LINK

Then select the Kennedy Ranges document.

On page 43 and 44 there are a couple of good maps of the range with tracks.

Cheers

Exmouth...sigh...Please do some scuba diving for those of stuck in Alice....:)

Yes, we've done that trip in 2002. Feel a bit slack for not having published anything much about it - as it's a great area and far more interesting than that horrid highway! Turn off just south of the Minilya Roadhouse and traverse dirt road thru station land thru to Lyndon station area. Rough bush camps possible off side of track but peaceful. Not much traffic on this stretch. Then SE for 60kms to pick up the main junction (signed south to Kennedy Range or another 150km or so further east to Mt Augustus). Turn off to Kennedy Range NP half way down - fantastic camping spot, great atmosphere, nice gorge walks, lots of goats, but not much driving access for exploring - you can't actually get into the range other than the camping spot. Gascoyne Junction is one of the smallest towns I've ever seen, so don't expect much and you won't be disappointed, follow the main track to the east to the Murchison Settlement - some great stuff to explore around this part of the region - do some research (that's probably what you've just asked for). We were planning last year to pick up the back track following the Murchison River back to the NW Coastal Hwy at Kalbarri but trip was cancelled - would suggest you look at that option rather then continuing all the way into Mullewa and into Gero. There are some Places loaded in that area, you could pick the eyes out of those of interest and design your route around them - some of this is mentioned in my blog titled Mid-West (dated last October I think). Hope that helps?
