	Canning Stock Route, Part 1 - Destinations - Overlander 4WD Magazine - Australia's leading four wheel drive magazine
		I've driven the CSR, my company Great Divide Tours has led several CSR tag-alongs and we have seen just how harsh this sandy, meandering track can be and yet, with a properly prepared 4WD, appropriate planning and sensible time frames it can be conquered with few, if any hassles.
		Although Alfred Canning built the chain of wells to bring the cattle from the northern tropics of Australia to the railheads at Meekatharra, the numbering of the wells starts at Wiluna in the south of WA.
		I prefer to drive the CSR in ascending well number order; apart from the opportunity to tick off each well as it is visited the route north leads from the colder climates of southern Australia to the delightfully warm weather of a northern Australian winter.

		The stock route remained unsuitable for its purpose due to the incomplete refurbishment so in 1930, Canning (now 70 years old) was requested to complete the job.

		So far the track on the Canning has been pretty good but now it's going to be a real bumpy affair as we head into the heart of the CSR to face countless corrugations and desert hills.
		One of the major barriers on the Canning is Savory Creek and, although it rarely runs deep, if it is you will not progress much further than this point.
		But be warned, the ground off the side of the narrow firm track can be a bottomless bog and you will become hopelessly stuck to the floor pan if you stray slightly off course.
