Rain west of Alice

Hi Richard,
I hope you made it to the to of the Sir Frederick Range and found our EO calling card from June last year in the old rusty tin in Rock Cairn.

Cheers

No we (I) chickened out on the first level, travel on our own and getting to old for it.

But would have been great to get up to the top, to hard for me to walk because of the hip problem.

we used your trip note they where great help, it's good to travel today with all the technology.

Regards

Richard

The first pic of the water on the track was just north of Mt Wedge and was the result of the rain on the previous weekend.

These pics are of a previous trip to the SFR in May 07.Image Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found

Hi Gents,
A quick question,

If I remember my Len Beadell history correctly the Sir Frederick Range is accessed from the Sandy Blight Junction Road.

Is this correct?

Geoff

Hi Bob
Look what 12 months and fires do to an area. The worst part was that large hole near the lip at the top, I can still hear those large rocks making contact under the vehicle.

PS Hi Geoff

Yes you are correct, first gear, low range and point the bonnet to the heavens above and watch out for those giant rocks.

Cheers

Thanks Stephen,
Another for the "To Do List"

I remember Len talking about his first trip up there when making the road!

That must have been interesting to say the least!

Geoff

Hi Geoff
The SBJ Track is a great trip to do. When you read Lens visit to the top, he used a different track, a little north east of today's track. All I can can he must have been mad without any backup. When you see the sheer slopes that he drove up, all we can can that he was a man on a mission and nothing was going to stop him and his trusty old Land Rover. We must all take our hats off for good old Lenny.

Cheers

Stephen
