有朋友走过西澳的Holland track 吗？从Coolgardie to Hyden

OR If youhave any information about that?

Many thanks

The Holland Track is the longest cart road ever made in one stretch in Western Australia. It is a unique route that was created by pioneers in 1893 to enable prospectors arriving at the port of Albany to shorten their trip to the Goldfields by more than a fortnight. But the route was soon forgotten as prospectors used the newly built railway line to travel to the Coolgardie Goldfields and John Holland was never given any recognition or recompense for "services rendered" to his country for his efforts. The north east portion was slowly reclaimed by the bush, whilst the south western section was overtaken by pastoralists and their farmlands for nearly 100 years.

Then in 1992, a small group of enthusiasts understood the importance of the Holland Track and planed to re-cut the track so that it wasn't forgotten for ever. In doing so, they have given us the chance to retrace the footsteps of the important pioneer John Holland and Co. and to marvel at his incredible feat. In opening the route, we now have a unique 4WD track that allows us to experience the beauty of isolated camping in this long forgotten area that still contains wonderful relics of pioneering days.

The Holland Track begins in the heart of the Southern Wheatbelt region and heads in a general north-easterly direction into remote bushland and eventually meets the Great Eastern Highway at Coolgardie in the Goldfields. Although much of the southern half is now incorporated into the present road system around pastoral lands, you can still find many points of interest pertaining to Holland and his party with numerous commemorative plaques too see, heritage signs to follow, and many nice campsites to enjoy.

You will find these trek notes follow the route as faithfully as possible, and they should because the author was personally led to each site by Graeme Newbey, who together with researcher Adrian Malloy, are the men whose efforts we thank for re-opening the Holland Track.

你为什么选择Holland track 而不是从Albany开始的著名的1000公里的Bibbulmun Track 呢？
当然了没有时间走完全程，但我、圆月和青竹走了一小部分。

如果MK82能参加的话，你们不要耽心任何难度的track，他有丰富的野外经验。

你们一家走完七桥七村非常好。每个月有一至一次这种强度的徒步，我相信你们全非常喜欢除了Holland track and Bibblumun track 之外其它中短程非常漂亮的tracks such as Balancing Rock, Stirling Range National Park. See my report @ Sydneyhiking Club from Aug 23-29, 2011.

Make sure it would be great if you could ask MK82 join, all of you would have unforgettable memory and experience if so.
