| Trek
Notes: | | | Western
Deserts | A new
region for Western Australia that covers a vast area - east to the Western
border, south to Kalgoorlie, and north to Halls Creek. The
population is sparse, the challenges many, and the preparation for 4WD
travel in this region is essential. | | Canning
Stock Route | The long
awaited Canning Stock Route (CSR) trek is now on-line. Widely regarded as
the toughest and most remote trek in the world, the trek covers from
Wiluna to Halls Creek and all the sights in between. A must read for anyone planing
an assault on the CSR. | | Mud
maps | Take
another look at the 53 trek notes on ExplorOz. All the trek notes now have
mud maps to give you an idea where the trek is in Australia and highlights
the exact route that the trek follows. All map sources are available in
the Adventure Shop. We now indicate the minimum number of days required to
complete a trek & some of the more remote treks also include fuel
requirements. | | Travel
Diary | Read the
trek note and want to know more? Follow the link at the bottom of each
trek note to David and Michelle's personal experiences on their travels.
