I think that's the trick Al, to keep chipping away at it!!

Hi Richard,

It sounds like what you have planned for next year will tighten up a few gaps..

Yes and still many, many places to see.

This is a better view, this is had work on an old 686 and a laptop I can't get to talk with the disktop...

Since 2005, that is prolific Peter.

Let me guess CSR or Simpson or the Cape??

The Cape, we hope.
Helps when you can travel 8 months per year :)

Hi Peter

what do you mark your map with in the difference colours?

I have just mounted my HEMA map of oz on some peg board. and need to do the same the above was off OziExplorer.

Cheers

Richard

Richard, that is just a paper map with coloured texta pens.
I have GPS tracks for all of those routes saved though.

Richard

Thanks Richard,

It is interesting to see other peoples travels. You've had a couple of good years lol..

Good one Richard,your not an acupuncturist by any chance are you ! (Maybe if you pull a couple out of Queensland the Government might do a bit better) lol


Cheers

Us Southerners keep the Cane Toads economy afloat. LOL. :)

Richard, it seems that you and I are the only ones with the Munja Track marked.
We went in 2005.

We did it this year and found it well worth while.

The owner of Bachsteen Camp was looking for a buyer and the Mornington Conservation people had shown interest but planned only to fly people to Walcott Inlet. It was mentioned Mt Elizabeth station would not maintain the track and this would be the last year it would be open to the public.

I was at Honeymoon Bay 27/28 July camped on the beach with 5 other vehicles. Was that you in the OKA with the goanna painted on the side parked close by? Also saw the same OKA at Siding Springs on the 26 Sep but coudn't locate the owners to have a chat.

Yes Richard, that was us at Honeymoon. We were there for a couple of months, exploring the coast by boat.
That was us at Siding Springs too. Small world!

Rick and Ann Jane (Bush Track Safaries) own Bachsten Camp. Ann is Peter Lacey's brother (owner of Mt Elizabeth). Great people.
They were intending selling Bush Track, and to continue to operate the camp themselves. It will certainly get harder to get in there if Rick stops doing the work on the track each year.

Hi Willem,

You have another big year coming up.

I see we have a few similar vacant patches...must do something about them.

Cheers
Alan

Willem, it is a bit unclear on your map, but have you been out to Carson River?

Cheers,
Peter

Peter


Yes, drove through Theda Station(with permission from the owner) to the Morgan River and then later the Carson River in 1987. From there we followed the escarpment to Carson River Station and then later on we camped at the Drysdale River en route to King George Falls.

From our Carson River camp we also explored south along a track marked on the 250,000 paper maps but lost it after about 10km and couldn't even find it on foot

Read all about it here



Cheers

Willem, we went into the King George Falls and the loop to Striker in '06 and south along the escarpment to the Theda boundary. Getting hard now. Kalumburu have leased Carson Station out and am unsure of entry possibilities.
Last year we drove from Home Valley to Oombulgurri. Now that is a track! The 85k took 3 days and getting harder each year. There are some pics in our link below (Carson Track).

Magic country!

Looks like a good trek to Oombulgurri. Good pics and video too!!

I met a bloke many years ago who did that run and then further up over the escarpment to Kalumburu. Took them days to winch up the escarpment, so he said. This was around the late 70's.

How difficult was it getting access to Oombulgurri?

Still a lot of country to see out there. Next year I am going to look for some historic landmarks in the Great Sandy Desert which will take in some 700km of desert. There has been exploration in those areas over the years but from my research I see that most seismic tracks are pretty much overgrown.

If you wish you may contact me via email willem@kempen.id.au



Alan....yes. Hope I have enough time and energy left to do these trips...:-)


Cheers

Hi Phil
I see your closed ended line at Giles, You'll have to come in from the east now to join it up :))

I know what you mean about work getting in the way of things, though I'm not to keen on thinking about retirement yet haha.

Cheers

Yep, well spotted Alan! Camped at Warakurna one night and the resident Dingo stole my wife's shoes outside the swag, so we had to turn back :-(( Had to wear her good shoes for the rest of the trip!

Good Grief, you have too, and with a side trip out to Kiwirrkurra as well.

Your map has got a few lines on it too Doug ;-))

Good effort, hope to emulate it one day.

Cheers, trevor.

Trev,
It is a bit depressing isn't it!! Still, we must all take our turn.

It not only goes to show just how well travelled we are all here on this site as a whole, but just how big the country is.

Cheers
Alan

That's come out pretty good Richard

Ummah

You drove along the railway line east of Rawlinna!

That's OK, X.

Maybe he works for the Railways, some people do.
Maybe he works for Telstra. They have stuff there.
Maybe he did it before it was closed.
Maybe there was some other opporunity.

You hould not assume that he did so illegally, just because you can't go there.
