Road type Leonora to Meekatharra

Hi Mal,
Assuming that you are coming in from SA,
Bitumen all the way from Kalgoorlie to Wiluna.
Wiluna to Meeka is a good gravel road.
The short-cuts you ask about through Sandstone to Meeka are all dirt.

Cheers,
Dennis

Mal,

The road from Leinster-Sandstone-Mt Magnet is a very good and wide 2 lane sealed road now.

I have not done the run from Wiluna-Meeka for many years but it used to be gravel and its condition varies greatly. The sun in the arvo is very bad on this road and has contributed to some bad accidents.

I reckon the run up through Sandstone and Magnet is the better run and much more scenic. Stop at the Sandstone pub and check out the memorabilia on the walls. There is also a lot to see around the Cue area if you want to break up the trip.

Mal hi

we traveled from Leonora to Sandstone and up to Meekatharra in Sep last year, we towed a small off road caravan the roads are all well maintained dirt roads.

the road from Leonora to Sandstone is properly the worst but still OK.

You can check out my profile photos or look at caravan trip

Cheers

Richard

ps. meet some very nice people in the Sandstone caravan park

If you are not committed to visiting meekatharra itself, there is a dirt road from Wiluna (where the bitumen ends), via Cunyu and Neds Creek, to the Great Northern Highway north of Meeka. We have travelled it in 2006 and 2007, towing van, found it pretty good both times.
