Karen watched an incredible story unfold.

It was supposed to end with beers in a bar and a sticker that said: ‘I completed the CSR Wiluna to Halls Creek’, and there was no denying it was a huge challenge – the majority of the most important things are. Just mentioning the Canning Stock Route (CSR) conjures up images of extreme challenge and isolation, a place all too ready to punish the unprepared or naïve.

While I was watching the SPOT tracker it became more likely beers would not be those of celebration, but of commiseration. I expected to hear tales of challenges overcome, determination and grit, and in some ways it was, but with a lot more trials and not quite the positive ending we were expecting.
