Canning Stock Route
Canning - Wells 1, 2 & 3
Departed Wiluna Laagar 8am & spent about two hours around town. Meg went to the Art gallery. Their manager had just left
after three successful years there with a very exiting group of painters. Meg arranged for them to post a ‘present’ for her after
six weeks to coincide with our return home.
Well 1 is off the track and a short drive from town. Passed several cars coming off the track from the North who were very glad
to be finished!
It was easy driving with a few rutted sections and rocky bars across sections of the road.
The wildflowers were not prolific but around, the usuals we have seen so far. Orange peaflower at Well
3 with also some specimens of the rare acacia the red mulga mostly in creek beds
Lunch stop on a rocky plateau with low scrub. Hot today and sunny. Difficult to find shade.
Found a great camp spot, a treed area with a shady camp site and enough cleared areas for about five
vans/tents. Great campfire that night thanks to Russ. A pleasant drive and nice day
