where are the photos from or abouts?

Richard

The first is cowalinya pool to the West of the fraser range road track which heads south of the telegraph track

the second is a salt lake where the mt Andrew track terminates.

the mt Andrew track heads South from the Telegraph track also but is at a guess 50km east of the fraser range track

the 3rd is Mt Andrew just to the north of the salt lake pic

and the last was an elevated campsite overlooking a salt lake from memory somwhere to the east of the fraser range track.

i could dig up some co ords from my old maps and diary when i get home if your interested,

Bloody harsh country alot of it alot of burnt out areas and dense regrowth - some very little visited areas around there

Yes I would appreciate it, we travel it to fast back then and it was starting to rain, (not a good thing in that part of the country). I like the land around Norseman and have plains of setting up at the CP and exploring around.

Cheers
Richard

Thanks I will make some waypoints out of them

Cheers

Just be aware that significant damage to vehicles was made getting to some of the spots

the rock and salt lake were both on the Mt andrew track which was probablly one of the etter tracks in the area both for access and scenery

couldnt say for sure as it was a while ago - however most of our work was done around saltlakes as often they were the spots with exposed rock and offered open ground for camping

ive got more if you want but like i said most didnt have real POI and arnt exactly easy to reach


the Mt andrew track which you should be able to work out from the waypoints to the photos looking at the map for those 2 spots is accessable and worthwhile

thanks for visualising those memorys for me

just flicking through the diary - seems most entrys involve ripped canvas, flat tyres, bent steering rods big dents torn off fuel lines cracked diff housings, boggings or combinations of the above

Well thats me gone, We travel alone so will probably give it a miss for now.

Thanks anyway

Richard

AHA found it rhis website has been renamed. Locals from norseman put it together
- peruse the site as it has plenty of info for you


Usefull Info

it even has the track file for the mt andrew track heading south to the point where it kicks off east is the drive i described to you

Yes I have all of them from when the site was the Dundas Post office, it was a very good site full of good info and story's of the area.

I lost it properly when it was re named.

Thanks for the info

Cheers

Richard
