Hi Tom,
When I contacted the
Capricorn Roadhouse in
Newman about 6 weeks ago, the lady said that they are the ones that deliver the fuel out to
well 23. They have purchased a bigger truck for the coming season in 2009. All payments must be made in advance via Credit Card and at lease 6 weeks to your intended arrival at
well 23. Their contact phone number is (08) 9175 1535.
If you are travelling alone, your vehicles must be in 100% mechanical condition, with special attention to the shockers, as they will get a real work out on the Canning in parts. I would also advise taking a Satellite phone as an emergency item. The vehicle should also have a
UHF radio. Apart from speaking to other vehicles along the way, you will be able also hear if vehicles if vehicles are coming your way.
There are many things that give me the s..ts, unprepared outback travellers, no backup fuel and no communications. I could not tell you how many times out in
the desert where other vehicles have had no radios and travelling in convoy - it does not make sense.
Cheers
Stephen
