The Mt Palmer Track is hardly worth a mention for most of the year but after rain it is a challenge. It is long stretches of water, bogholes and slippery, muddy dirt over a 12 kilometre section of unmaintained track.
Leaving Great Eastern Highway from the Yellowdine roadhouse there is fair warning that the trip to Mt Palmer may not be all that easy.
-
- Very near the beginning of the Track.
-
- Plenty of warnings.
Depending on the amount of rain that has fallen the 12 kilometres to Palmers Find can be one stretch of water after another, some up to a hundred metres long, most about 30 or 40 metres.
-
- Big splash.
-
- Steve takes his BT50 through a smaller boghole.
-
- Long and deep.
The depth of the bogholes varies greatly with the deepest being about headlight level.
The bogholes ended at the historic Mt Palmer goldfields.
