For those intending to access or exit campsites to
Exmouth via Yardie Creek in
Ningaloo region south of Yardie Creek in August read this :
AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE TRAINING
IN THE
EXMOUTH REGION
Australian Defence Force personnel will be conducting live fire and explosive ordnance military training in the
Learmonth Air Weapons Range,
Exmouth from 31 July through to 26 August 2024.
Defence security personnel will be closing the coastal track that passes through the
Learmonth Air Weapons Range for this period for the safety of the community and the members on exercise.
Defence security personnel will also be posted at both the northern and southern approaches of the coastal track to prevent access.
During this period, you are likely to hear and see military vehicles and aircraft, as
well as military personnel carrying weapons and using live and blank ammunition. You should not be alarmed, as this is part of routine Defence training.
The Australian Defence Force is working closely with the Western Australia Government, Shire of
Exmouth, Western Australia Police Force and other emergency
services as part of this military training activity.
The Australian Defence Force thanks you for your support and your understanding that Defence needs to restrict access to
Learmonth Air Weapons Range for the safety of all involved whilst these activities are underway.

We are heading that way on Friday so thanks for the info. Will make sure we are out by the cut off date or if the weather is nice and we can get longer we will go one of the other ways.
Ningaloo Rd is closed but I have talked to a few people that have gone that way anyway and it's in its usual corrugated condition.

The
Yardie Creek crossing was dry about 6 weeks ago. Some people getting bogged in the dry sand rather than the water.
Cheers,
