Couldn't really think of where else to post this but here's the distance myself and a crew of 3 others will be travelling on a survey route/resupply run for remote communities. We'll be collecting sample cores from key locations around the red interior before heading back out onto the main highway.

vrey nice, very cool, have fun dying of heat stroke hoohoo quick question are there enough gas stations on the way there or will u be using SUPER TURBO tank of gas like super can hold the ocean LOL hehe!!! just askind :d DDD FUCK
are there people living in random houses on those routes or do you go hours and hours without saying any buildings at all?
Some other details i forgot to add: No we’re not paying for fuel (thank fuck) the company we work for will be as fuel in WA is about 300cpl, which converts to 8 USD/gal.
Is it just me, or is a map of western Australia that refuses to show the name of Perth ass?
You should share your experience on r/roadtrip lol
Jesus Australia continues to tell me it’s bigger than I realizedÂ
I would love to join this trip. A dream
What work do you do that requires this?
40 hours is a ways even by Canadian standards. Could that north coast sustain a major city?
this looks very cool. I like to watch people like malcom douglass (he died) do journeys around this area too.
Reminds me of this that I was reading the other day: https://www0.anu.edu.au/linguistics/nash/kt/history.html
r/roadtrip will love to hear about your experience on this!
How long will this take you?
Closest I’ve done was a 900 mile drive around Wyoming for work, decades ago, upgrading time clocks. I think it did it in four days with about 1.5 hours of actual work.
Rockingham? Gross.
honestly this sounds like a really fun job how many beautiful places do you get to see they must be countless!
if you don’t mind me asking how much do you get paid for this? it has to be a significant amount given how much time you spend driving away from the comfort of your home and your family
Distance seems to be about equivalent to a Berlin to Madrid route (with stops in Milan and Lisbon). A little longer, actually.
I’ve driven that multiple times! Gorgeous country. Look out for the ‘roos.
I was curious about the town of Tom Price and it says it was named after an American named Tom Price who was an executive at the company who was mining there and he died two hours after finding out there were iron deposits in the area they were surveying that ended up being named after him
I’ve done this trip. Slightly different route tho. About 2 hours north of Geraldton the car broke down.
That shit was scary.
At least it’s not the Canning Stock Route.
How big are the towns you’re resupplying and how often do they get resupplied
Whats the coast like up there? Particularly the bit from Gerladton to Kaarratha?
Are the core samples for opening new mines?
Enjoy Fitzroy Crossing 6765. Make sure you hit up the Crossing Inn on a Friday night.
