Gunbarrel overgrown in places ???

Hi Rob
Here is a selection of pictures from the Abandoned Section of the Gunbarrel, with the pictures descending from the Warakurna end to near the Heather turn off. Yes there will be a few sections were height could be an issue, but these sections are few and far between, with the denser sections after Jackie Junction and to the Heather Turnoff.

I hope these will show you what to expect.

Cheers

Stephen

Hi Rob,

We were along there a couple of weeks ago. Yes the mulga does crowd the track a bit in places. No real trouble for the Troopy but it may scratch-up the Fuso a bit. But hey, that's what its all about isn't it?

The photo below was a section between Jackie Junction and Mippultjarra Junction and was about as bad as it gets along there.

Rob, you can't get up the ranks without carrying stripes and you aren't a general yet. I can remember you didn't worry too much about the 80. LMAO

I guess that may mean you come straight across the highway now?

Hi there Rob and Chikka
Met you at Millstream NP and Hugo's birth was immanent. He looks great.
Enjoy
Stan and Chris

hi
i did the abandoned section in 1987 and thanks for a look at the photos
gee the scrub and bush has grown
it was only low back then and the track was very badly corregated
cheers

Hi Rob
Sorry for that, as I thought that you wanted details for the Abandoned Section. The next lot of photos will be from the other side then down to the Heather. Looking back at the pictures, there was only one section where the Mulga was dense and close on both sides of the track, and that was near the Tjirrkarli turn off. Most of the way there will be little to worry about. Makes sure that you see the setting sun from on top of Mt Beadell. There are many great camping spots along that section. The roads within the Wiluna Shire are first class and once you get near Geralton Bore, that's where the very good corrugations start.

So this is what you can expect, but in general a very easy run.

Cheers

Stephen

From what I can remember last year the gGunbarrell was OK..
Sure a bit rough and corrugated, but that is to be expected, once you leave the Wiluna Shire end, heading East..

There is a small section near the start of the Heather that slightly overgrown, (heading south) but even then it was not bad.

I do not know just how much that patch of scrub will grow in 15 months, but you should be OK.

Best to wait for more replies !
