Day 1: Bruce Rock to Niagara Dam.
This video is from our dash cam and covers Day One of our "Our Hanns Track Adventure" trip from July 2018. The video shows us traveling along Cramphorne Road, then Moorine South Road up to The Great Eastern Hwy at Moorine. Onwards toward Coolgardie, then picked up Yarri Road, just outside Kalgoorlie.
Heading North East along Yarri Road we passed through Gindalbie at which point we turned North along Donkey Rocks Road ( which was more like a donkey track). The tracks in this area can be a bit confusing and we made a navigation error near Marsh Dam which caused us to take a track that headed more North West towards the Carr Boyd Mine. This track was in reasonable condition so we decided to continue along it with the motto "One track is as good another".
Later, we came across a track that headed North East and back towards Donkey Rocks Road so we headed down it. This track proved not to have much traffic and was heavily overgrown. But we pushed on anyway, added a few more scratches to the Pajero, but not a problem this is what we do and why we brought the Pajero. "To go where very few have gone before". We rejoined Donkey Rocks Road some 40 minutes later having only traveled 6.2kms
By now it was getting late in the day and the sun was low in the West. The setting sun proved to be a challenge as looking straight into the sun made the track very hard to see and at points we had to slow down to a crawl.
We hit the Kookynie Road turned right knowing that we didn't have far to go. A few more kilometers saw us arriving at Niagara Dam almost at sun down. That's it, finished driving . Time to setup camp make something to eat and look forward to tomorrow to continue Our Hanns Track Adventure.
In about 10 hours we had travelled 638kms in just over 10 Hours with a average speed 62 kph.
