Perth-Alice Spring

Ah bah j’ai bien fait de faire une recherche je voulais demander votre avis sur la Great Central Road, qu’on compte prendre en van aussi.

J’ai trouvé ce site qui renseigne bien: http://www.exploroz.com/TrekNotes/WDeserts/Great_Central_Road.asp

Mais ce que je voulais savoir c’est si c’était vraiment raisonnable de la prendre, enfin s’il n’y avait pas trop de risques de crevaison ou d’embourbement avec un van. Quelqu’un l’a déjà fait?

Nous en fait, arrivés à Leonora, on ne descendrait pas vers Perth, on remonterait vers Coral bay via Meekatharra, alors au cas où quelqu’un aurait déjà emprunté cette route aussi 🙂

Et oui car une fois sortie du parc … impossible d’y rentrer sans payer ! Mais bon à 10km du parc d’attraction Uluruland (le village quoi) il y a des endroit désert magnifique pour faire du camping sauvage.

C’est bien sur faisable mais en s’assurant avant tout d’etre bien equipé et d’avoir un bon vehicule…

Pour les permits (obligatoires) ils sont gratuits. Le site ci-dessous indique tous les details:

D’ailleurs d’autres informations plus generales mais tout aussi utiles sont affichees sur ce site: Department of Indigenous Affairs (Western Australia)

Parmi les informations qui s’y trouvent voila une liste de conseils (a apprendre par coeur – no kidding!)

TEN TOP TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS
1. Stick to the main tracks
Stick to the main roads and don’t go off the track. You could be on Aboriginal
Land and you will need permission from the owners, the same as if you were on
a cattle station or other property. If in doubt, always check before you go.
2. Permits are needed
In some cases, a permit may be required to visit Aboriginal land and these are
available free from the DIA. Penalties for unauthorised entry are $1000 or
imprisonment for nine months.
3. Go with a guide
Most of the country is remote and could be dangerous. Getting a guide will help
you explore the country safely and local guides have a wealth of knowledge they
are happy to share.
4. Observe any signs
In some places Aboriginal land is signposted. Read the signs and don’t go to
areas that are off-limits. If you see fences or gates, please don’t enter.
5. Respect Aboriginal communities’ right to privacy
Communities are happy to have visitors, but sometimes they may have special
business, which means it is not a good time to visit. Some communities may also
charge an entrance fee – this helps them maintain their infrastructure.
6. Do not touch artwork or artefacts
If you find paintings or other artefacts, respect them and don’t touch them. Some
can be up to 40,000 years old and are very delicate. They can be damaged by
human touch, cigarette smoke and even dust from car tyres.
7. Take your rubbish with you
Please don’t leave litter the country. Take your rubbish with you or place it in the
bins provided.
8. Do not take any flora or fauna
The country may seem huge and powerful but it is also delicate and sensitive.
Flora and fauna are a vital part of the land and Aboriginal culture and should not
be removed.
9. Respect the land
There are sacred sites all over regional WA and they should not be disturbed.
Some are signposted but many are not. Use common sense and respect
Indigenous heritage and culture.
10. Enjoy your trip!
Western Australia is a wonderful and exciting place, full of history and culture.
Following these useful tips will help you make your trip a once-in-a-lifetime
experience!

🙄 du même avis que Filoux … 😆

Le Nord c’est tres jolie ,tu ne seras pas deçu de le visiter.
Au lieu d’acheter un van, prends un 4×4 .
Pour les Vanneux 😀 ; Vous pourriez m’expliquer les avantages ou les inconvenients du van par rapport au 4×4.
