Cocklebiddy to Rawlinna Track Photos for Alan

Hi Alan

In reply to Alan's (equinox) latest Blog and at his request, here are some pictures when we drove the track in August last year. We wanted to get away from the black stuff and head to theTrans Access Road. When asking at the Cocklebiddy Roadhouse about the track conditions, the two chaps behind the counter both looked at each other and said it was a horror track. When Fiona said that we were used to travelling in remote areas and everyone has a different view on track conditions, you could see the looks on their face and if I was a mind reader, the reply would have to be censored. We took around 5 hours all up to travel the 144 kilometres and spent one night on the track. The first 30 kilometres were in perfect condition all the way to Arubiddy station and was possible to sit comfortably around 80 kilometres per hour and from there on the was travelling was slow, between 20 - 40 kilometres per hour.

Yes it was rock covered and slow, but it was a great drive and would do it again tomorrow - well not really, as I have to work. So if you are travelling west or east along the Eyre Highway and want a great detour, it is well worth the drive.

Here they are Alan
