Taking the path less travelled on the Canning Stock Route

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Andrew Dwyer

I am back in Alice Springs after leading an expedition down the Canning Stock Route in Outback Western Australia. I shot this video traveling on an unused track through the Great Sandy Desert between wells 36 and wells 33. The track was completely overgrown, I suspect no-one has used it since I last did two years ago. The spinifex is beautiful, its silver blonde heads waving in the breeze. Tomorrow I leave again, this time for the Western Deserts. Click on the link here to watch the video. I will try and post more soon. Taking the path less travelled on the Canning Stock Route

    Hi Andrew,
    Give my regards to Jude and Bob. Hope all goes well in the Western deserts.
    No requests from you about an evaluation of the Canning trip. Do you want one?
    If not then thank you for a really splendid experience. I loved it all.
    Josh 14, Andrew 1.
