Hi All,
Has anyone done Dunns in say the last 2 years or so?
Just wondered what the track was like? and whether I need to contact anyone for access to any parts of it?
All comments gratefully accepted

Hi Ian,
I led a club trip through there 2 easters ago and apart from it being extremely scratchy in
places, it was otherwise a straight forward trip. No permits or permission is required for any part of it.
Enjoy it.
Regards
David

Last did it a couple of years back as part of a bigger trip
the first part from
peak charles isnt actually
dunns track, the actual
Dunns track hasnt been used for many years and can barely be picked out its so overgrown.
The side tracks off from the survey line to the old wells and water holes can beactually pick up the
dunns track.
I had an idea of following the actual
dunns track but gave up after a couple of hundred metres as it wasnt much different to just straight crosscountry driving through very thick virgin bush
After Peak Elanor it can be diffivult to find
camp sots due to dense broom bush.
when down the lower end dont be so quick to rush through the sparse landscape of the sand plains. Some of the southern rivers have thier headwaters there and poking around the low
granite rocks can find a variety of wildlife
No contact is needed to travel it
