For those interested in reading about pioneering walks like those on the Canning Stock Route ...

I have compiled an article on Murray Rankins' first attempt on the Canning Stock Route in 1972.

If there is anymore information out there, I welcome updates and corrections.

Happy walking...

Hi Gaynor

Well- you've just cost me about three hours~!

I have had the most fascinating read of your website, and thoroughly enjoyed what was written, as well as your photography. Awesome stuff! Thank you.

Cheers

Thank you for the feedback WildLight. Glad you enjoyed. I have to admit that foot powered traverses of the Canning Stock Route are a fascination for me. What worked, what did not work, the challenges over come and the determination...
