TreeTops Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Plenty of people from Perth in Western Australia do the Canning Stock Route. Although I havent had the pleasure, I know many people who have done it and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Here is a bit of reading if you are interested. http://www.exploroz.com/TrekNotes/WDeserts/Canning_Stock_Route.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Drove across the Barkly tablelands in 1972, all blacksoil and the roads had been graded over and over so it was in fact a trench, and impossible to get off it except at townships, thank the Lord we had no rain on that run.. Did the Alice- Adelaide soon after (twice) dirt most of the way, and full of deep holes covered in Bulldust so you could not see them until your car fell in them.. Tried the gunbarrel highway, but had to turn back as my vehicle (an old Nissan Patrol) was not up to it.. All terrible driving conditions, but my familly and I would not have missed it for the world.

lthendrix Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wow Teecee . sounds like a fun time. I was thinking about flying some of those routes with the help of ozx and orbx of course,I have been looking into the history of these routes. there used to be alot of what some would call truck trail here in california used for the same purpose, before the time most of all food stock began to be raised in giant feed lots and people forgot food comes from more than a grocery store or vending machine.
