Andado Station is the 'farthest out' of all the Simpson Desert cattle stations and one of the largest properties in the area. A visit to Old Andado (a tourist enterprise), is like a visit back to the 1920's, an image faithfully preserved by Molly Clark, a remarkable Australian woman. See the remains of the Overland Telegraph Line and drive along the Old Ghan Railway Line then wonder at the strength of the men who pioneered this country. Enjoy a wide diversity of terrain from rugged mountain renages, large river valleys and spectacular deserts; a remote area where mistakes can still result in tragedy.

Some of the most unusual landforms in the world can be found in Central Australia. Ancient riverbeds and mountain ranges contrast with red sand dunes and desert oaks. Mt Conner, Ayers Rock and the Olgas - known as The Three Tors of Central Australia - are all quite different and equally unusual features. Other unique features include Kings Canyon, Palm Valley and Henbury Meteorite Craters. Much of this are has only been accessible to visitors for about 30 years and some roads and facilities are well suited to the modern adventurer. Len Beadell's Gunbarrel Highway is also shown although travel permits are difficult to obtain. Westprint maps are highly regarded maps for desert areas.

The Canning Stock Route is the longest and most remote stock route in the world. Detailed track information, traveller advice and historical information is included in this Westprint map. Alfred Wernam Canning was born at Campbellfield, north of Melbourne, in 1860. He started work in New South Wales as a cadet surveyor and in 1893 joined the Western Australian Department of Lands and Survey. In 1901 he was given the task of surveying a route for the Rabbit Proof Fence. This survey of about 1800 kilometres from the southern coast to a point south of Broome took four years to complete and was one of the world's longest continuous surveys at that time. In 1906 Canning was asked to survey a stock route from Wiluna to Halls Creek through 1500 kilometres of trackless desert. He worked almost continuously for the next four years surveying and building the stock route. At the age of 70 Canning was asked to supervise well reconditioning partially completed by William Snell. Canning was 76 when he died in Perth in 1936.

Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria has a land system unlike any other in the country. It also has a rich Aboriginal history spanning thouands of years. European interest in the coastline dates back to the 1600's and land exploration commenced in 1845. Nat Buchanan blazed the first track along the Great Top Road 20 years after the area was explored by Ludwig Leichhardt in 1845. Huge mobs of cattle and thousands of people travelled to the Northern Territory and the Kimberley. Minerals were found in the GUlf in the 1880's but little of it could be mined due to the inhospitable nature of the land. Travellers will be amazed at the ever changing landscape. Flat Mitchell-grass plains on the Barkly Tableland merge into rugged, stony hills of the Cloncurry-Mt Isa region. Flat coastal plains near Burketown contrast with deep river crossings on the Great Top ROad. Mountains, plains, tropical forest, huge rivers and a coastline covered with mangroves are all part of this marvellous area called the Gulf. Westprint maps are highly regarded maps for desert areas.

The Tanami Track provides the quickest access from the Southern States, via Alice Springs, to the Kimberley. Its path is through some of the least populated country in Australia and its ever changing arid scenery provides an awesome introduction to the immensity of Australia's Deserts. The early lure of gold and the need for stock routes have caused huge amounts of human effort to be used in crossing the Tanami. The condition of the present route, only determined in the 1960s, is being improved but the area is still remote and can be dangerous. Westprint maps are highly regarded maps for desert areas.
