Last of the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party roads to be made by Len Beadell and his merry men was the 450km long Talawana Track, pushing westward from Windy Corner (on the Gary Highway) to ruins of the Talawana Homestead, near the present Balfour Downs Station.
We drove approximately half of the Talawana Track with a group of fellow travellers over two days in late July 22, from Windy Corner to the turn-off into Karlamilyi (Rudall River) National Park.

Gary Highway
A convoy of vehicles led by the legendary Ron Moon ran part way up the Gary Highway (Everard Junction to Windy Corner) in late July 2022 – we took two days to traverse the often rutted, overgrown and narrow track.
We touched on the Gary Highway again a few weeks later, passing through Gary Junction when travelling sole and homebound from WA to the NT across the Gary Junction Road.
