Greetings on and all.
I have been advised that the road between Mt Magnet and Leinster via Sandstone is now a sealed road. I can't find any reference to it on the Main Roads WA site nor anywhere else that I've looked.

Can anyone verify that this road is sealed?

Also, I read that the Wiluna to Meekatharra road is undergoing "Sealing and Sheeting works 70km west of Wiluna". Has anyone driven these roads very recently? I would appreciate an update.

Thanks
Toolman

Hi Toolman,
Mt Magent to Leinster is defintely sealed, watch out though as there are plenty of roos between dawn and dusk, especially between Mt Magnet & Sandstone.

T/man,

Was when we went thru there 3 years ago, pretty sure it still will be.

Yep sealed and about 20 spmething km east of Sandstone there is a rest stop overlooking a small gorge. If conditions are right he wind comes up the gorge and whilstles through the fence as if is playing a tune. I called it the Singing Fence stop. Lots of interesting stuff around Sandstone including London Bridge

I drove the Meekatharra to Wiluna road on 1 June. It is mainly good gravel (though dusty) except for small sealed stretches near both towns. The sealing and sheeting works mentioned are not making a large impact on the overall road. The trip took us 2 hours 20 minutes, including a coffee stop and driving at speeds appropriate to the surface and not exceeding 100kph.

Hope that helps.
