Hi, looking at travelling from
Esperance to
Caiguna along the coast using the telegraph
track. Taking my 12yr old son on an adventure. Anyone with some information on
track conditions and is it worth the risk going solo in our 2016 hi lux with good amount of T of self recovery gear.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance Paul.

The
Nuytsland Nature Reserve Trek has the eastern half of your journey. Link as NNR below. We towed a camper from Balladonia to the abandoned tele station and then back out via wheat fields to
Esperance. Your rig should do it easily with correct tyre pressures on soft sand. There were flooded sections, some with bypasses
NNR
Have a look at pix in
Point Dempster for
track conditions.

Just drove the
track from the little known Wylie Scarp
track east of Balbinya through to
Caiguna - visited a few different
places on the way - no problems on that part of route.
