Things to consider and remember when driving on a gravel road
Overall, driving to Wooleen Station should be a very pleasant experience. Remember to travel at a speed comfortable for you and your passengers, appreciate the natural bush that surrounds and spot some wildlife along the way.
Wildlife and Stock
Road ways are not fenced and therefore kangaroos, emus, cows, sheep and other wildlife are free to roam and cross the roads at will. Slow down and give animals right of way if you see them up ahead.
Dust and Visibility
Visibility can be an issue due to the dust clouds kicked up by your vehicle or by those traveling ahead. If necessary, slow down and remain vigilant.
Weather Conditions and Mud
Rain can make the roads muddy and impassable, watch the weather closer to departing and remember to check the shire road condition report or call the homestead for an update (08) 9963 7973. Alternatively, the extremely hot weather will necessitate you travel with extra food and water supplies on board.
