We have received advice from The Department of Environment and Conservation, who are responsible for the management of fire in Western Australia’s State Forests, National Parks and Nature
Reserves that they intend burning in the Western Deserts area and this will include tracks around the
Canning Stock Route this JUNE>
I have added this info to our Road Conditions page for the CSR but please be aware that they intend to undertake a prescribed burn across a wide part of the Western Deserts in June 2012. They say they'll use an aircraft to ignite the burn and will endeavour to avoid flying below 500 feet.
A buffer will be maintained around the
Canning Stock Route and other tracks. Areas will include UCL around
Puntawarri Track and Talawanna Track and Karlyamilyi National Park. Martu traditional owners will be guiding Departmental staff in relation to suitable areas to apply fire as
well as avoidance of significant sites.
Should you require more specific information contact them on 9182 2000.
