Hi everyone,
Just under two weeks until we leave for our little trip north.
Wanting to know if anyone has done either the trip to Mt Meharry or the Boreline Rd recently?
We'll be doing both on our trip and keen to know what they're like at the moment.
Cheers,
Jason.

G'day Jason
I was up on Mt MeHarry late last year after a good deal of rain fall in the
Pilbara and I had difficulty in getting through a couple of boggy patches just over the Rio Tinto ~ Yandi rail line.
The climb up to
the summit is fair dinkum as once you start the climb ~ you are committed ~ and it does get very steep and loose in sections.
The reward is simply spectacular, as you are at the highest point of any land formation in WA.
The summit of Mt Robinson is also a brilliant climb with spectacular
views of a part of the
Pilbara that is changing rapidly and word has it that these two ~ summit climbs are going to be shut to public access.
I would contact the manager of Juna Downs Station by phone, just to let them know your intentions, because you will be on their pastoral lease and they might be able to give you accurate
information on the track and also Rio Tinto might have
information through Juna Downs, that you might need to know.
I've heard the Boreline track is over grown in
places, but open.
