Hello!
Currently planning our CSR trip, has anyone travelled that way this year? What is the road condition between well 33 and Billiluna?

Best information is this Facebook (The Canning Stock Route) group, Billiluna store manager often posts too:

By all accounts no one is doing the northern section..

Good group.. occasionally someone from New Zealand joins though.. they think its an Annual Event of some kind.

"By all accounts no one is doing the northern section.."

Is that because the wet season has been late ending and it is still too soggy up that end?

That explains the lack of traffic.

Not so good at the south end either according to Track Care.

I'm with TrackCare and the northern end is definitely still inundated. In early August we will be doing a run up as far as well 9 only doing maintenance work on the wells and dunnies. From what we've been told by the TO's the rest is impassible.
