The Last Frontier?

Nice little loop Trev. Should test your equipment out on what are some pretty harsh tracks. Have been looking at Carson River track ourselves for a future run & wondering did you have inside contacts to get permits or are they available through regular channels?
Might cross paths as you come over the Simpson as we're doing a double crossing Aug/Sept.
Enjoy your adventure & look forward to your updates & hopefully a few photo's.
Cheers Craig.....................

Hi Trev

Have you seen Peter and Margaret's slide show?

Friends of ours did the Carson Track, we have the video of their trip, it looks like a fantastic trip for you but a hard one. LOL Enjoy, we'll be looking forward to the updates.
Cheers

Sounds absolutely great We, too would be interested in hearing of your travels and triumphs. We may cross paths around the roper Bar area as we are travelling the Gulf track, Adels Grove to Mataranka throughout July. Safe travels Cheers Greg & Di

How long do yous expect it to take and who do you get the permits through? One track I've dreamt of completing.

King Trev,

Bruce and Annie arrived here at our place a couple of hours ago, ready for our departure tomorrow morning for the Central Western QLD Trip.

Shame more didn't want to join us although Mike has had a few issues which has prevented him for comming along with us. Old Girl is tagging along with us to Windorah.


Cheers Kev

Hi Trev,

I spoke to Kalumburu today (Wednesday) and The Carson River Track is a closed track.
Oombulgurri is abandoned.
I spoke to a feller that flew over it two weeks ago and he said the entry and exits from the big rivers have been torn out. He said it is doable but you'll need plenty of time.
Anne Koeyers from Drysdale River Station said it's been two seasons since a grader has been anywhere near any part of the track and it hasn't been touched for 7 years, since the Mining Exploration finished.

The feller at Kalumburu was saying they are assessing the track to figure out what they're going to do there. Their plan is to open it again but it won't be this season. They're going to basically only going to open it for tag a long tours with their people leading the tours, well that's their plan for now.

Let us know how you go, if you get a chance.

We'll be in Kalumburu about 22nd August.

Have good trip,
Steve

Hi Trev K,

Well I'm assuming you are knee deep in rocks by now on the CRT. I have driven the entire track from home Valley station to Kalumburu via oombulgurri many times in both directions. I last did it in 2011.

You will often hear that the track is impassable, chopped out by the wet etc, truth is that occurs but its nothing some blood sweat and tears cant fix with some road building but be prepared for some slow days.

I'm confident you guys are prepared but people should know that this is not for the faint hearted, you need to be able to fix your broken vehicle otherwise you may as well leave it there if it breaks down or gets broken. This is the remotes's track in australia and without a word of a lie probably the toughest. Its tough on the vehicle.....

Word on the street is that DIA will be closing the track to the public full stop as they are doing some deal with a tourist venture who will have exclusive access so go for it while you can. I plan on doing it again later in the year (yes it will be hot) so hopefully you guys have done some of the hard work :)

Good luck id be keen to hear your stories.
