travelling the Skyrail & train to & from Kanundra. We also had a great drive through the

OUT & ABOUT ON TRIPS HOLLAND TRACK & CAVE HILL ADVENTURE

May 2016

A gap was found in a busy schedule and, as the Holland Track and Cave Hill area had not been visited for

quite a few years, the decision was made to go and have a look and see if anything has changed.

Day 1

5 4WDs gathered at Hyden on a cool Monday afternoon and after introductions and discussion of stuff was

completed we commenced the easy run to the first nights camp at Emu Rock. The tents and swag were set up with

one very smart adventurer sleeping in his Troopy. The area is very nice and scenic and was also fairly damp due to

the very good rains over the past few weeks…..a billion midges attested to that.

Day 2

Up nearly early and after some exploring and giving the tents and swag a bit of time to dry from the overnight

dew it was a leisurely departure at around 9am. Tyres down and off we went.

A nice easy run to the Hyden Norseman Road and it was onto the “main” part of the Holland Track. The first

part of the trip saw us running along the track and having a good time discussing stuff over the radios….all very perti-

nent to our adventure. A bit of damp under the tyres but nothing to get too excited about. In fact this bit was pretty

easy apart from a few muddy bits and skirting around some of the bigger holes which had been dug up by others. Mt

Holland was reached early afternoon and camp set up. A walk up to the top and the view has certainly improved

since the whole place was burnt out. The last visit 5 years ago had the views impeded by trees and bushes but now

they are all gone….and a nice view it is. Also the mine has now closed so the sound of silence, and birds replaced

the hum of the mine .

Day 3

Up early and another very easy 9am departure….love these late morning starts. Now the track changed and

not for the better. The initial run along the wide and open mine boundary was easy (always is) but then we got to

“play” in the dirty red mud and holes. This was maintained for big sections of the track with other parts being dry and

easy to play along.

The Mallee nest is still there as are the rocks and gnamma holes though with plenty of water all over the

place this time. The weather had cleared up and sunshine and niceness was the go. Some of the holes on the track

were big enough to drive into, stop, and have the roof at ground level. We maintained a reasonable pace though

there was a fair bit of looking around at stuff and we camped in the bush a few kms before Agnes Gnamma Hole.

Another great fire and much discussion again solved most of the world’s problems….I think we should record all

these and send them to the imbeciles in the various Governments. I think they would be very happy to receive the

suggestions.

Day 4

We woke to a magnificent misty foggy sunrise….there’s just something about an early morning campfire in

the mist….sort of makes you go all….

After brekkie and with the fog gone it was off on the sort of short run to the main road….many twisty bits later

we emerged on to the Victoria Rock Rd and turned right to Cave Hill.

It’s not far down this road and left onto the “4WD only” sign posted track into Cave Hill….yippee we said.

5kms later as we splashed and slid through the first “puddle” we nearly tempered our enthusiasm. To cut the 45kms

story short there were a few small mud puddles and a couple of BIG mud puddles and 5 pretty dirty 4WDs rolled into

the camp area at Cave Hill.

It has been nearly 13yrs since I was there and some of the changes are good but the introduction of bloody

pine log barriers is not one of them. I know the reasoning but it still doesn’t make it good….and they don’t stop eve-

ryone, just the honest ones. Now the weather was warm and it was time to do some footwork so after setting up our

campsite it was off we go.

Cave Hill is big….not Mt Augustus big but certainly one of the bigger rocky bits around the place. Great pho-

tos and plenty of scenics to look at and admire….and the serenity….ah the serenity….

Another nice campfire (potatoes in the coals – a couple of times to get them just right) and more problems

solved and the Southern Cross discovered again.

Day 5

Another easy start and after letting the tents and swag dry off we headed out towards Sunday Soak. The

plan was to cut down to the Old Hyden Norseman Road along a track that was shown on at least one map as 4WD

only….yippee. After a bit of searching we arrived at the Sunday Soak area and commenced looking for the

“pioneers graves”. We looked and we walked around and we looked some more and….into the 4WDs and facing

defeat we drove about 150m and there up in a tree was an old sign pointing the way. A bit more walking and there

they were. Two graves of prospectors who died of thirst in December 1895. What an incredibly lonely and crappy

way to die….and 120yrs later prospectors are still dying…just goes to show.

OUT & ABOUT ON TRIPS We made our way to the start of the track of excitement and headed off. After a couple of hours we stopped

for lunch and all agreed this was one of the most spectacular tracks around. Nothing difficult (apart from maybe get-

ting sort of misplaced for a very short time) but the vegetation and scenery, with salt lakes, is magnificent. This track

continued to amaze and even when we turned onto the Old Hyden Norseman Road it still remained just a nice track.

It was now getting on and we eventually arrived at proper dirt roads and picked up the pace a bit and arrived at The

Breakaways camping area…on the “new” Hyden Norseman Road. If you have never been it is typical breakaway

country but this particular bit is about as far south as it gets. It is also a very nice camping area. The final campfire

was had and with clear skies and many stars twinkling it was off to bed. I have no idea what time we woke to the

sound of the pitter patter of little raindrops but they soon turned into real rain and a bit of wind and….

Day 6

We woke to another nice crisp cool morning of magnificence and…..not really….it had p.ssed down and eve-

rything was wet and the ground was muddy and the temperature had dropped 50degs and….

It makes it a lot easier packing up wet if it’s your last day and that’s what happened…wet tents and swag and

bodies into 4WDs and a very muddy run into Hyden where….the sun was out and the wind was direct from the South

Pole….but the Hyden Bakery pies were very nice. From Hyden it’s back home with no surprises and no difficulties

(we won’t mention West Coast but I stopped listening at half time). The promise of huge rains to assist in the clean-

ing of vehicles didn’t eventuate so some muddy types rolled into home that afternoon.

Some of the good things about this trip:-

Despite the efforts of some it is still possible to make your way along the Holland Track in a 4WD that is of

stock height and with “normal” wheels and tyres. We had two such vehicles with us. There are some parts of the

track that have been ripped up so much that 45” tyres would face a challenge.

We saw two other people on the track…I think that’s very good.

The camping grounds at Cave Hill have been changed from when I was last there and given the explosion in

numbers of people around the place I understand why….I guess it is “enhancing our experience” but it is also a rea-

son we love bush camping where no others go.

The “secret” track we went on was much like the Holland Track I first played on nearly 20yrs ago…just a

track with a few boggy bits. I intend to go back and spend a few days looking around because it may not be too long

before the moron brigade find it and stuff it up…I hope not but I’m a realist.

Some of the not so good things about this trip:-

Damage…1 rear bumper, 1 tyre, 1 rear canopy glass, 1 sidestep, 1 CV.

The inflated diesel price at Hyden.

Hyden Bakery nearly running out of pies.

Yilgarn Adventure

Date: 16Oct - 24Oct

The plan is to play in an area bounded by Great Eastern Hwy and Coolgardie Esperance Hwy and Hyden Norseman Rd and Victoria Rk Road. 8 nights camping with no facilities. Need 650km fuel range minimum. Day 1 approx 470kms. Day 9 approx 510kms. If you are interested in landscape or nature photography this is a great trip. If you wish to walk then this one will satisfy that urge as there's going to be plenty of walking going on. Some BIG rocks to explore. There is a teeny weeny chance of some bush kisses on your 4wd but they nearly all eventually polish out. I am away from mid June until mid August and will provide more information before/at the August meeting. Mark Skeels
