The Great Western Woodlands - Outback Western Australia

[Nomad164]

I have just come back from leading a trip for my 4WD Club out into the Great Western Woodlands (Outback Western Australia).

It was a quick 8 day trip which I would have loved to last longer

The Great Western Woodlands is approximately the same size as England but with less than 50 000 people living there and most of them live in Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

How many does it take to change a tyre (and yes that is the correct way to spell it )

The sheep yards at Pergande Homestead - these were made from sheets of granite rock collected from a nearby large granite rock and are over 100 years old.

Thanks for the photos - love the wooden road!

Clearly a gap we need to fill - when we were in the area (arriving from the Nullarbor) we took the Balladonia Road to Duke of Orleans Bay, then wandered west more or less along/near the coast (with a short 600 km side trip to Wave Rock and back and stops at Fitzgerald River, Stirling Ranges, and a few others places) to Margaret River, Perth/Fremantle, then north....
