Am heading from Uluru across to Rudall via Sandy Blight and Gary Junction road within the next 10 days. Am trying to decide if to go down Canning to Talawanna Track or go via Telfer Mine Road. Has anyone just come through that section of the Canning from Georgia Bore or along Tallawanna Track who can report on the road conditions. Thanks

I was there about 4 weeks ago and the section from Kunawaritja to Georgia Bore was pretty good from memory, we stayed overnight at Well 29.

I would suggest getting a drum of fuel from Capricorn Roadhouse dropped at Well 23 if you need it as Kunawaritja is $3.40p/l where Capricorn charges $3.00p/l.

Cheers

Colin,
yes I had heard fuel prices had gone up a bit at Kunawaritji .
We can get diesel at Purrngur for $3.00 litre(spoke to them last week).
used the well 23 drop for petrol on our 2010 Canning trip when I had the 80 series.
regards
Howard

The inflammatory bit was when it became evident that there are 2 prices Local & Tourist, guess who pays more.

when I went thru a few years back - you needed prior permission to transit thru the Telfer road - as it's a private road.... but this may have changed.
