Hi Alan another interesting video. I live in Melbourne but I drive to Perth each year to see my son and family. (Usually via Cairns and the Pilbra). I am always looking for other ways to come home and the Hunt Road looks like a good detour. Would you have the GPS coordinates of all the sites you visited, particularly the well.

Thanks Alan for well signposting the track. At no stage did I sense being lost or off it. I did it towing a Kimberley Karavan which is a hybrid camper trailer. The main issues towing were the many fallen trees and branches blocking the track with just as many tight chicken runs. Fortunately I had the presence of mind of bringing along a small chainsaw which was worth it’s weight in gold. I cleared many of the larger such obstacles along the entirety of the track. The Cups was a delightful camping spot and since it had rained a couple of days earlier the gnammas holes were full of water. A few low lying areas were still wet and very slippery and I almost bogged in one spot. I took my time doing the track with the second evening camping on top of Moir Rock. An enjoyable lone experience. Thanks again for bringing this track back to life for those of us who enjoy history and bush travelling.

G'day Alan Thanks for letting me take a look at a part of Western Australia that I never actually took an interest in previously, but you had my interest the instant I read Aubrey Newman 1896 in the lead up or introduction to the Carraning Rock journey. I didn't know Aubrey Woodward Newman ventured into the woodlands region, but thanks to your effort I am now a whole lot wiser. It may seem strange but I was perched up on a fairly high (elevation) point on the Northern flank of Mount Newman, just a couple of days ago just taking in the moment as the Billy was busy doing it's water boiling thing. History has it that Aubrey Woodward Newman (Government Surveyor) was on an expedition which would have seen him and his party come into the Pilbara region, but sadly he contracted Typhoid and passed away at Cue in the Murchison, so he never got to wander the lands of the Inland Pilbara, A W Newman 1866 - 1896 The highest point or land feature in the Ohpthalmia Range was named in his honor by William Fredrick Rudall, who took over as leader of the expedition, which from memory was aiming to locate Wells and Grace, who perished in the Great Sandy Desert on Alfred Cannings ~ stock route venture. Safe travels : Joe

Good show Alan, they opened up, all the tracks around 15 years ago after the fires left the bush and headed into the farmland. So, they became fire breaks and service roads, it looks like they have done nothing to maintain them since.

The sign was put in by the crew who were sealing the Eyre Highway in the mid 1960's. This section is part of the original road. Not sure why they put it in north a bit. Maybe so no one could see what they were up to..

Wow, great adventure & video! Just found your channel and have 3 questions (if I may): 1. Does it require specific / additional permits to leave existing tracks and go cross-country? 2. Any reason why you didn‘t check out Geralds Knob first (coming down from Lake Blair)? 3. According to Exploroz Geralds Knob is South from the Gunbarrel and Toms Knob North - did they mix them up?

Thanks, 1. Depends on the tenure of the land, this land has since changed tenure so would now need extra permission 2. I wasn't sure of the position of Geralds Knob so had to get a fix on it via Charlies Knob. 3. Exploroz Coords are correct, it was I who submitted them after this trip, cheers

I am fascinated by Outback roads. I have traveled all over the US (49 of 50 states) but even though we have areas of complete wilderness, we simply do not -- possibly excepting Alaska) -- have such PROFOUND areas of "track" . . . . i once contrived to drive 250 miles in Kansas ALL without driving on a hard-surface road. But :tracks" are a different kettle of fish. Thanks for the videos! ----Mike
