It’s been a while since we were last there so let’s revisit the Karara Rangelands Conservation Park.

The Karara Rangelands Park is situated between Payne’s Find, Yalgoo and Perenjori. It is about 420 km NE of Perth. The Park consists of what were 6 former pastoral stations including Karara, Warriedar, Thundelarra and Lochada and is now managed by DBCA as a conservation reserve.

This trip departs Perth on 16th June 2024 to travel north and onto the Gibb River to explore some of the attractions it has to offer.  At the end of the Gibb we will visit Wyndham and Kununurra. The trip will then continue on to Darwin and beyond. If you would like to join the Gibb trip only you will need consider your return to Perth. Due to the remoteness of this trip vehicle numbers are limited to six. Even though this trip is marked as full please contact Deborah Thyne, trip leader in the first instance if you are interested in joining this trip.

This trip is to continue the clean-ups we have been assisting Track Care WA, with full DBCA support, in the Wandoo National Park, which is between Gt Southern and Brookton highways and about 70km from Perth.

How about coming for a drive and a walk through beautiful forest and farmland to visit and explore Boyagarring Rock and Boyagin Rock. This is a generally easy drive suitable for all levels of experience.

This trip is to continue the clean-ups we have been assisting Track Care WA, with full DBCA support, in the Wandoo National Park, which is between Gt Southern and Brookton highways and about 80km from Perth.

We will be driving the tracks in the Wandoo NP and stopping frequently. We will be clearing fallen branches and any trees, which we can do easily with the equipment we have. In some sections we will be clearing ‘scratchy’ bushes from narrow sections of the track to allow easy access for all.

Let's try this again. Hopefully the weather will be kind and the wildflowers out in bloom. Pack the family, a picnic lunch and walking shoes and come exploring around Jarrahdale. Note: As we will be walking in the Serpentine National Park, please leave your pets at home. 

NOTE: Max 8 cars.

Augustus de Luc (Gus Luck) explored extensively through the Goldfields and surrounding areas during the gold rushes of the 1880s and 1890s. He spent time gold prospecting, sandalwood cutting and transporting goods throughout the area.

When gold was discovered at Goongarrie (then called the 90 mile as that was the distance from Coolgardie) Gus took it on himself to establish a track between Southern Cross and Goongarrie to cart supplies to the new mining area. This became known as the “Gus Luck Track”. Camels and wagons of Gus’s time have been replaced by comfortable, air-conditioned 4X4 vehicles of today.

So, lets pack our comfortable, air-conditioned Subarus and go and explore Gus’s Track through the Great Western Woodlands from Southern Cross to Goongarrie which is on the Goldfields Hwy, 90km north of Kalgoorlie. Along the way we will check out lonely graves, wells and waterholes. We will also explore Goongarrie National Park, Menzies, Lake Ballard and other assorted places.

It’s that time of the year already. The evening we get together to enjoy the company of our fellow Club members and celebrate our achievements over the preceding Club year i.e. from 1/10/2023 – 30/9/2024.
