Harry
G'day,
Would like info regarding the track running from
Forrest to
Mundrabilla via the
Old Homestead cave.
Or the track from
Forrest along the Anketell road and turn down the Loongana road to Madura.
What sort of time would it take for either ?
I know it's
limestone country and will be slow or awfully slow in
places.
Willem, you done either of those tracks ?
Ave a good one.

G'day, Loongana to Madura, did that Sept 08, the other way, very difficult to find the start of the track, but you should have no problems. A few gates and track branches, but again, will be easier coming from Loongana. No difficult bits. We continued North, so I have no idea about the other track. Have a good trip.

John,
No difficult bits, but that doesn't tell me much.
So, what sort of speed were you doing and was it rough in parts or mediocre all the way ?
To Loongana, how long did it take you to get there from Madura.?
Ave a good one and thanks.

G'day Harry. Haven't done those exact tracks but did the
Haig-Cocklebiddy track about 2 months ago. Was typical
limestone country so yes slow then very slow in
places. Not sure if they've had any rain in that area lately.
Haig track is 120km and took me 3h40m (average 32km/h). Geez that sounds faster than it felt! Sorry can't help you with times for your intended route but probably similar speed. Hope this is some help to you.
Rohan.

Rohan,
that's good info, I can work with that. 32 is the figure I'll work with, thanks for that.
