Hi Doug
It is completely different from Geosurvey
Hill to the Geographical Centre. When Willem took his trailer to the Geographical Centre, there are old shot lines to follow as such for the greater part of the trip like about 90% of the way. Access to Geosurvey
Hill is devoid of any tracks what so ever. Also the conditions are easier after the Geographical Centre. Only people that have ever travelled to Geosurvey
Hill will testify just how slow and hard a trip it is.
A few other facts.
1. Willem has never ever been to Geosurvey
Hill, and has personally told me that he would like to at some stage.
2 The Visitor book at The Geographical Centre, has page after page of visits, and is now seeing a greater number of groups each years.
3. When we visited Geosurvey
Hill, we were the 17th group ever to venture there. In the previous eight years before we arrived there, there were only ever 1 visit per season.
Any track that you can follow out there is a real bonus and you have no such luxuries from the Colson Track to Geosurvey
Hill and further out.
My advise still stands, leave the trailers at
home and listen to someone that has been there and not what one has heard from someone that has never been there. The picture below shows what it is like, and can you say it is OK to take a trailer out there, day after day, with no shot lines to follow until you get near the Geographical Centre
Cheers
Stephen
