WA track conditions

We came west along the Gary Junction Road 2-3 weeks ago. We thought it was fine.
Fuel was $2.70 at Kiwirrkurra and $3.10 at Kunawarritji. Both have well stocked shops.

Last ,year when we travelled the Talawanna Track from Windy corner to CSR it was overgrown and rough. Completely different to the west side of the Talawanna Track

It may also be prudent to prepare your vehicle for long stretches of spinifex seed-heads on the Talawanna Tk.

RobnJane, we were in the same situation in 2018. Even at Kunawarritji still no-one could tell us whether the western end of the East Talawanna would be passable as a result of flooding.

We left Kunawaritji with sufficient fuel to backtrack if we needed to, but in the end didn't get as far as Windy Corner due to fires. We later learned that we would not have been able to get through the wet boggy areas prior to where the Talawanna crosses the CSR.

Instead we went west from Kunawarritji, via Punmu to Telfer & than south (Through the Telfer mine) down to Karlamilyi NP & later onto the western Talawanna throught to Newman.

That was a great alternative, very enjoyable drive.

It was at Desert Queen Baths, where Canning travellers were detouring because of flooding on the Canning, that we learned we would not have stood a chance to have made it through on our initially planned route.

We were also towing a Tvan.
