North West
Adventure

28th June 2021 
to 
28th July

The joys of planning

The decision for this trip came about in 2019 with the dates  planed for June, July, August 2020.  Due to  unforeseen circumstances we had to defer to 2021.

20th May 2021

Our first true planning date started with a BBQ, with many interesting conversations.

By the end of this night a list of who was taking what was compiled with a 20 plus minute discussion about water..  In the outback you can never have too much but then some calculations working out how much water would be required, in the end this discussion ended with one party thinking the other party will be carrying excessive water and the other party saying you can never have too much water so each would make their own call on water ​

Change of plans
We had hoped that the CSR was back, 12 months later still closed

Permits for the Canning Stock Route (CSR) cancelled immediately
  • The WA Government has declared a State of Emergency and a public health emergency as a result of the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
  • The WA Government has issued Enforceable Directions to restrict access in and out of remote Aboriginal communities.
  • Native Title Holders are exercising their rights in restricting access to Native Title Lands.
Kuju Wangka has disabled the Canning Stock Route permit system for an indefinite period. This will be reviewed on a month by month basis in consultation with stakeholders and Government advice.
Any existing permits are hereby revoked. Permit fees will be refunded for people who have an existing permit and they will receive an email to that effect by 31 March 2020.
