info from well 33 north

OWT

Reading through my notes of 1994 I see that I was doing 80kmh to stay on top of the corrugations one my way to Well 33 from the north :-)

Can't recall the track being that overgrown. Mainly Spinifex clumps on the side of the track. It is a two wheel track after all, not a 2 lane road!

Go here to have a read of our adventure.

You will get a few scratches, but that is the least of your worries. The Canning this year was as badly corrugated as I have seen any track ever. There were many damage vehicles. I recommend you add about 4 days to your planned schedule and travel very very slowly over the corrugated sections as it is now impossible to travel fast over them. Around well 33 is very bad.

I broke the chassis on my Patrol this year at Well 48, but the trouble started at well 18. I am recommending people drag tyres or branches or something behind the lead vehicle to reduce corrugations, we did, and it made a big differnce in much of the country we crossed after I broke the chassis.

No need to scratch the Prado. Put on a coat of Autoskin or Scratch-Pro and that will then be the least of your worries. Like Willem, I have recently posted blogs on this site for the Canning from Billiluna down to Well 33. Have a look HERE.

The corrugations anywhere south of 34 are certainly soul and vehicle destroying.

thanks to all replies, every bit of info counts
