Австралия
Добавлен 13 июл 2014
Shane travelled overland through Australia during the gaps between his cancer treatments and life’s other hurdles. Each trip laid down memories, that are even more precious after we said a our last heart-breaking goodbye to Shane, who passed away in August 2023. I hope these videos inspire the traveller in you.

Running the Cut Line | TVAN Touring outback NSW
The Cut Line is a great little outback road running across north western NSW from Bourke and Wanaaring to Tibooburra. Once centre of an active wool industry, terminus of the Darling River boat traffic and subject of many Henry Lawson poems this area has a rich pastoral history that adds interest to the drive.
We crossed the track after a damp autumn so the track had seen recent grader work and was in great shape. In the dry it can be a rough and bull dust holed track that would need much greater care.

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.

The Gary Highway, constructed by the Gunbarrel Road Construction Party in April and May 1963 was named by Len after his son, born earlier in the same year. The track provides one of few north-south links in the Woomera rocket range road network but is rarely used today and is therefore poorly maintained. Running for roughly 323km through the Gibson Desert, this remote track takes you through ex...

A noteworthy exception is the David Carnegie Road, a roughly formed track running south-north between Tjukayirla Roadhouse on the Great Central Road through to the Gunbarrel Highway at Mangkili Claypan. The ~250km long road was originally driven by the Eagle Oil Company to service their 1980s exploration w...
