In July ’22 a group of us traversed the David Carnegie Road, a roughly formed track running south-north between Tjukayirla Roadhouse on the GCR through to the Gunbarrel Highway at Mangkili Claypan.
The ~250km long road is a great outback drive that approximately follows part of the route taken by explorer and gold prospector David Carnegie during his 1896 expedition from Coolgardie to Hall’s Creek.

Anne Beadell Highway
The Anne Beadell Highway (ABH), named by Len after his wife, formed a critical east-west link in the Woomera range road network and formed the back bone off which many of his outback roads linked. Traversing roughly 1,325km of South and West Australian desert country the ABH runs through some of the most remote, desolate and waterless terrain on the Australian continent – this blog covers our 2022 traverse of this majestic country.
