Bit of a write up

Hi David and Shell

We got away from the Highway at the following (scroll down for description of rest area) which is west of Coolgardie at a large area of granite outcrops accessed by a loop of old road.

Scenic Lookout Rest Area

Most people stayed in close proximity to each other near where the toilet used to be, but we were able to find a spot out of sight and sound of other campers.

I'ii second Baladjie Rock
Some Great camp spots.
There's a huge Salt lake behind the rock
Also a nice drive thru the Baladjie Nature Reserve

Another fantastic place to camp and explore
is Elachbutting rock.

Hi

Boondi, Karalee, Baladjie, Elachbutting, Beringbooding, Eaglestone(visit Mangowine Homestead) Kokerbin, Perth.

OR

Sth Coolgardie to Gnarlbine, Victoria Rock down Holland Way Lake Johnston, Breakaways to Perth through Hyden.

I should imagine it will all be a bit dry with fire bans.

Probably best to stick with the nthn section.

Have a good trip.

Dave & Shell,

If your van had been a little smaller ............ the Holland Track would have been our choice .............. and while we have seen big vans out there ..... getting damaged along the track ............. it is not something that we would suggest.

The fact that it is the start of school holidays ...... and Easter ....... a five day long weekend, will give you lots of people out and about everywhere.

The locations suggested

Victoria Rock

Weowannie Rock

Baldjie Rock

Cave Hill

Elachbutting Rock

are all great camping locations ..........

and Jaurdi Station is a large area, worth exploring and big enough to keep away from other people, though mining exploration through the area is having a detrimental effect on the station tracks .............. very sad.

Above all ............. enjoy your trip ..........

Cheers,
Wayne & Sally.

You could try finding all of Hunt's wells. I have found all but two. One is on a mining lease the other is very hard to find. No rough tracks and plenty of camping spots.

Thankyou Everyone,

wow what a response! We will get our maps out and check these out.

thanks again,
shell

Hullo Shell,

with a week up your sleeve, here is my 2 bob's worth:

Proceed north from Coolgardie. On this road check out Rowles Lagoon

Rowles Lagoon

A little further north is Ularring Rock

Ularring Rock

These places can be morning tea or lunch depending on the time of day.

Then take an anticlockwise run down the Mt Jackson Road to Trough Well

Trough Well

You will need to use the lat and long in this link to find the entrance. It's a great overnight spot.

Next it's west to Eluchbutting Rock. A beautifull spot.

Elachbutting Rock

Next it's a very short drive to Beringbooding Rock at the corner of Beringbooding Rd and Cunderdin Rd. Info here:

Wheat Belt Tourism

It's about 30deg34min South 118deg40min East.

From there, there's a huge choice through towns like Mukinbudin, Bencubbin, Koorda, Wyalkatchem, Dowerin, Goomalling and Toodyay.

Have a great run and I'm looking forward to your blog updates when you get to the US.

cheers
