Hi Norm, we went through that way to
Coral Bay a few years back, we made a trip out to see the Old Errabiddy
Camp , it's nof far from Murchison Settlement,we left the caravan at the Cpark and went out, a very interesting bit of history there,
well worth the run.
Cheers
Deanna

G'Day Norm
If you visit
Cue, don't miss
Walga Rock, a monolith with
Aboriginal paintings (including the vexing three-mast sailing ship painting) along a large overhung fascade not too far west of
Cue.
It is a special place in many ways, and great for an overnighter.

Hi Norm, we stayed at
the settlement CP on our way to
Mount Augustus last year,the road was excellent once you left the
Mullewa Shire, have a look at Errabiddy
Bluff, and if you are heading further north
Bilung Pool is a top
camp site on the wooramel River.........have a safe trip

Afghan Rock just off the Beringarra
Cue Rd (sealed) is an unusual
Rock to stop at, nice for camping, about 40km NW of
Cue.
Garden Rock - about 14km? East of
Cue is also worth a look.
Well signed.
Dalgaranga Meteor Crater (past
Walga Rock) is said to be a waste of time by friends.
I've wanted to look at Balloo
Hill (north of the Boolardy Kalli Road) and Carrandibby Range (West of
Bilung Pool) but got washed out from making it there last year. Would be interesting to find out if anyone has been to them.
Have fun!
