Hi Guys.
In about 2 weeks time I will be off on a 2 week
camping holiday in the Goldfields regions.
I have been told that
Lake Boonderoo, about 320 Km East of Kalgoorlie and South from the Trans Australian Rail line is a very nice spot. To get to the
lake I was told I would have to follow the Trans Australian Rail maintenance road for most of the way, then turn South.
My question is, I can not see this
lake listed on any maps that I have seen.
Can anyone give me some inside info as to the expected condition of this maintenance road and whether I can tow my 13 foot Jayco Off Roader along this road.
Are there any maps available for this area showing this
lake?
I was told by a helpful
Forum user on this site a while back that the GPS co-ordinance was:
31 Deg 16536 S 124 Deg 35282 E.
Any and all information would be appreciated.
Regards

Thanks guys.
An excellent response from all. The last time that I looked at my maps in OziExplorer I also found a
lake but it had no name and it was not exactly at the co-ordinance, but close enough if that was the
lake.
I have since found Kitchener, and have also now found the
lake on the Hema Great Dessert Tracks. It's just off the Cable road heading South
As to the service road being a NO Go area, I never even thought of that, I will have to have a look into that. As to property owners, that may be a little more complicated as, again, the last time I looked I did not see any homesteads marked in that area.
Isn't Australia a bitter sweet place to live in?
We live in a free country, but we need permits to travel almost every where that is off the beaten path. If it is like that now, what will it be like for our children and their children?
Thanks guys, if there is any more info out there please keep it coming. I now will just have to do a phone around and see what pops up. I suspect I may be pushing it to get it all together in time.
PS...DAVE IT LOOKS LIKE THE REPLY SYSTEM IS NOW WORKING. Thanks.
Regards

Janset,
I agree with your thoughts on permits etc.
You could sneak in to the area quietly and if you come across anyone just play dumb.....but chances are you will not find anyone out there as it is off the beaten track.

Janset,
As I advised earlier, contact the station.
Lake Boondaroo is on
Kanandah Station ph 9022 6422 or 9022 6447 they will know someone is on their property. Don't bugger it up for everyone else. They will tell you what they expect of you and they will give you directions to the
lake. Its not off the beaten track.
