Gunbarrel

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the photos. I always thought that the abandoned section of the Gunbarrel Hwy went through some magnificent Ranges?
Take care, Safe travels.
Regards, Ma.

Hi Ma
There are many sections that offer great views of Range country. Here are a few pictures of the Range country encountered. The only time that we saw another vehicle, was east on Mungilli Claypan - a grader.

If you get the chance, it is a great drive with such a lot and varied scenery.

Cheers

Stephen

Hi Stephen.
Thanks again for the other photos. We've been on the corrugations at Mount Beadell. Have a go on the corrugations one The Anne Beadell around Emu. They'd sake yor own teeth out of your head!. Many injuries to vehicles!
It's better on the W.A. side and extremely scenic there too.
Take care, Safe travels.
Regards Ma.

Hello Pa and Ma,
I would like to travel this section of the Gunbarrel Hwy this year also but as I am travelling solo at this stage have the same problem. I will be travelling south on the Connie Sue Hwy from Warburton. This part of my trip I wil be doing in early September if thats of any help.
Cheers.
Tony

Giday John,

not being a pedantic type and always do the right thing [especially if someones watching...lol ] but does the 'Road Closed' sign mean no access ?

Are there any penalties if caught using the road ?


Cheers......Lionel.

Hi Tony C,
We travel Solo too, this is because we like to take our time & see everything, or stop for a day if we want and enjoy the silence of the Desert.
Sonia was a beaut person, she suggested that we could work something out as mentioned before.
We'll be there around August, all going well. Alice is booked out the end of Aug. for the Truck Hall of Fame. We'll camp may at Ross River again if we need too.
Even when you get a Permit to go on the Connie Sue it won't let you into Waterfall Gorge.(on Private land)!
There's a beaut camping spot nearby and a short walk will take you to something very similar.
After all this rain the section between Jackie J. and Giles could be very washed out.
We" were told last year by some one who'd just done that section of the old Gunbarrel, that it was lots of washouts then. Not easy but great scenery.
You can travel together but radio contact apart & don't have to camp together.
Hope all goes well for you. The desert should look the best ever now.
Safe travels, Take care.
Regards Ma.

Hi Lionel
There are a couple of signs at the very start of the Old Gunbarrel, but providing that you have your permit, it is no problem at all.

Cheers

Stephen
