CSR REOPENS
Remote adventure seekers rejoice. After more than 900 days of COVID-related restrictions, the Canning Stock Route has finally reopened to travellers. A statement on the Kuju Wangka’s permit website made the announcement in early June, inviting travellers to register for permits. Light vehicle permits are currently $195 and, although not recommended, trailers will incur an addition fee of $100. Light trucks are $385 per vehicle. Having seen little to no vehicle traffic for three seasons, the travellers are reminded to allow for additional fuel consumption and a possible increase in vehicle wear and tear. If contemplating undertaking the CSR, please ensure that you are well prepared and allow sufficient time.
