Hi Guys,
On the way up to
Wiluna and boy is it cold. Now out in the bush at
Sandstone and it is freezing up this way. Have had 2 jumpers on all day and extra trackies. Had a great run through on the Payne's Find/
Sandstone Rd so will spend Friday night at
Lake Mason then head into
Wiluna on Saturday. Rains all gone and the roads are dry so far.
Has anyone been to
Lake Mason I see its on the map as a DEC
camp spot.
Cheers Julie and Brian

Hi guys,
It would have been nice to be able to be in area again.
We were at
Lake Mason in 2003 when the WA 4WD Association and VKS Radio Network members carried out a considerable amount of work with CALM on the property. Cleaning out the
homestead, which was the old
Sandstone Hotel, cleaning up around the
homestead, constructing shower and
toilet blocks. There was an effort made to get the Association to be caretakers ............. a lack of interest caused it to fall through.
There are apparently some spectacular areas to visit and if the area is the same now as it was then, take LOTS of powder with you to try and keep the ants at bay.
Enjoy your time there.
Cheers,
Wayne & Sally.

PS. As far as I am aware camping is still allowed there, the DEC office in Kalgoorlie would be the place to
check with.

Yep it's cold alright. Had a thick layer of ice on the car windows this morning here in
Perth. Won't see you at the gathering as I'll be heading into the GVD tomorrow morning and yep I'll be packing plenty of warm clothing.
Enjoy
Wiluna and the festivities, wish I could be at 2
places at once.
