Menzies Sandstone Road query

Couple of years ago Jeff, and we can't remember the condition of the road, which means that it was not 'remarkable' one way or the other.
Certainly 2 lanes.......
Don't forget to call into Lake Ballard art project on the way past and the info place in Menzies.

Cheers,
Peter

I was up there in November and went from McKenzie to Lake Ballard and continued on the same gravel road to Leonora.

Road was pretty good but Lake Ballard was too wet to walk out too far.
We were doing 90 or so on parts of it. (The road that is)

All the gravel roads in the area seemed Ok.

From Leonora to Kookynie had a closed sign but was actually open and was being repaired in places after washouts.

Have a look at Gwalia a wonderfully kept old mine town, now a Heritage listed spot.

You can still read the original newspapers used for wallpaper on the hut walls.

Great mining museum as well

Grab the Golden Quest Guidebook - worth it just for the 2 cd's with stories of the beginnings of the Goldfields. Just watch out for rain - the gravel roads are good until they get wet! Cheers Heather

Thanks to those who replied, I assumed the road was no worse than the Oodnadatta track etc i.e. good if it hasn't rained, but just wanted an idea, not sure yet if we will go that way, it is time dependent and need to do Kalgoorlie to Mt Magnet in the one day, this way looks/is significantly shorter but may be slower than sticking to the blacktop via Leonora.

the vast majority of all dirt roads in WA ive been on from the goldfields to the pilbarra to the weatbelt have been to a supurb standard and the one bad one can recall is now bitumanised
while I havnt been on that road for a while I doubt its changed
