Natural soak on northern end of
Canning Stock Route approximately 4 km south wst of
Well 50 on the
Canning Stock Route.
Gulvida Soak on the
Sturt Creek, were described by Michael Terry in his book Across unknown Australia, published in 1925. Terry and companion Richard "Dick" Yockney had run out of benzine and nearly died of thirst when they stumbled upon a soak which saved their lives. It was in a creek very remiscent of, and in the same general area, as the Gulvida Soak creek, about 47 km (30
miles) west of
Lake Gregory.
At a time when there were no roads, Terry was one of the first people to cross Australia by motor vehicle, and the book describes his travels from
Winton to
Broome in 1923.
