This is the first half of an expedition down the Canning Stock Route - the most remote, longest stock route on earth in Outback Australia. Try the tour, then select the placemarks, they have links to location photos, the track is a gps plot. Enjoy!

Another interesting tour!

I had a go at a similar tour a while back, but since I have never travelled the CSR mine was plotted from the NATMAP 250K raster maps, the 250K geological maps, and anything else I could find on the Web. It is interesting for me to see how accurate and close I am in my plotting compared to your plotting with GPS. Also, it is very interesting to see a trace of the actual CSR road.

If you are interested my attempt at a CSR tour is at

Thanks Ozlingula,
I am going to post part two and three today - the second part of the Canning and the Gunbarrel back to Uluru. The 1:250,000 are not bad, however the more obscure features are right off the money. I will be posting a trip around the northern Rawlinson Range in Ngaanyatjarra Aboringinal Lands past a place called Circus Rockhole, where Ernest GIles departed for the west when they lost Gibson in 1874. The Circus is a good 5km from where it is on the map. The tracks are often out of date as well, but all in all, when you compare Australia's mapping with that of many other countries, we are not bad.
Cheers for now
