The remote central desert country of Western Australia is crossed by few tracks or roads. A noteworthy exception is the David Carnegie Road, a roughly formed track running south-north between Tjukayirla Roadhouse on the Great Central Road through to the Gunbarrel Highway at Mangkili Claypan.
The ~250km long road was originally driven by the Eagle Oil Company to service their 1980s exploration work and named the Eagle Highway, in 1996 the southern half was renamed to celebrate centenary of David Carnegie’s 1986 exploration and prospecting expedition which approximately follows route of the road as he trekked from Coolgardie to Hall’s Creek and back again.
