David Carnegie Rd to CSR via Gary Hwy, Kidson Trk, and East Talawana trk

S&L,

The David Carnegie Road (DCR) is a great drive that shouldn't cause you any problems. The road north of the Gunbarrel is called the Eagle Highway and it's a mixed bag but again no real problems (unless raining).

I have blog entries for all of the roads including track reports. Look in my blogs for July & August 2006, June, 2007 and July 2008 (Eagle Hwy). Here is the Track report Link. Darvid Carnegie blog is HERE.

Also very good notes on the Treks section of the exploroz site.

Cheers Mick

The roads/tracks you mention are mainly run of the mill stuff across grassy plains and a few small rises. They are not maintained and washed out here and there so you have to drive with caution.The David Carnegie Track north of the Gunbarrel is called the Eagle Highway to the Gary Highway t/o. It is pretty overgrown and washed out in places. You can do a run east along the Gunbarrel to the Gary Hwy and then north if you wish.

The Kidson Track is not in the area you mention but a lot further out to the west. I think you probably mean the Jenkins Track.

Once on the CSR heading south it is a bumpy ride over limestone ridges and corrugated tracks and then south of Lake Disappopintment you start getting into dune country but the dunes are mild and with low tyre pressures you should not have too much trouble

sorry for the brevity of my reply the other day but I was about to race out the door.

Here is the DCR track report I mentioned. Also member Equinox has a relevant entry that may provide some help.HERE it is.

Trust you'll have a great trip. It's fantastic country out that way.
