Hi all,

I am travelling down to explore Dunn's Track next week, leave the day after Boxing Day.

Pretty much using the trip notes on here and one from Western 4WDriver from a few years ago and following my maps.....

Will let you know how it goes and will post a plot file if required.

Regards

Dave

i will be heading down that way on boxing Day.We plan to camp near Lake King on the first night and then move on to Dunns Track from there.

Just be prepared for plenty of scratches. From Peak Charles through to the rabbit proof fence there are literally kilometres of scrub that reaches onto the track.

Be aware of the track that goes straight ahead at one point with a sign saying Fields Road - Peak Elenora 3km. From what we could work out that was a dead end track. We went to the left there and came out ok.

There are a few good places to camp along the way, depending on how far you want to drive. Moir Tank and Rock was good for us, but we had rain for a couple of days. We camped further along at the top of a hill, but cant remember exactly where is was. If I wasnt leaving home in the next 10 minutes, I'd look up the GPS point, but just checked on OziExplorer and it was to the south west of Oldfield River. Quiet spot on top of the hill (north side of track) Plenty of room to camp with a bigger group for your trek later.

We spent three days out there, but it all depends on what you want to see. We went in October 2007 and there were still enough wildflowers around for us to get out regularly.

Just watch the burnt out sections, as there are some bad stakes that take out sidewalls.. I know from experiencing one!

Have a good trip.
