Canning Stock Route The 4WD Drivers Guide

Canning Stock Route Guidebook (Edition 1)

Written by Phil Bianchi (OAM), Canning Stock Route historian and desert four wheel driver, The 4W Driver’s Guide – Canning Stock Route provides the reader with a wealth of information including the history of the CSR, how to prepare for your trip, the best camping sites along the way and track notes from Halls Creek to Wiluna.

This is a must have for anyone preparing to tackle the most challenging 4WD track in Australia.

The Canning Stock Route (CSR) was once the longest and toughest stock route in the world. Today, thanks to its length and isolation, the CSR has become the most challenging 4WD adventure in Australia, attracting travellers from all over Australia as well as internationally. Canning could never have envisaged its popularity back in 1910, when he telegraphed his boss Harry S King from Wiluna with the words, “Work Completed, Canning.”

Written by experienced desert traveller and historian, Phil Bianchi (OAM), this guide is essential for anyone considering tackling this epic adventure. While this guide seeks to assist travellers with advice, including vehicle preparation, permit requirements, travel and track information, it is the responsibility of the users of this guide to ensure that they understand the information, the difficulties and harshness of the CSR, and that they have a suitably prepared vehicle with adequate communications and safety systems.
