Hi Everyone,

I want to go to Esperance via Israelite Bay in October this year, but as i've never been to WA at that time of year, i am wondering if it will be too hot or not? Also, any information about the track would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Cheers, Brad

G,day Brad, we were planning on the same a few months ago only to find track to the coast from Balladonia Closed.
At the same time though, while fuelling up at Belladonia - two toyotas came up past closed sign and headed off to the east ( didn't get a chance to chat)
Contact Balladonia Roadhouse, (Google) the will have the latest.

I travelled the track last week and its no longer closed. The track via Mt ragged is easily traversed, even towing an off road style CT.

The Moon's have a book out and its in the EO shop

hi brad s a
re: heat
no it is generally just starting to heat up with cool a.m and warmer p.m kind of hay cutting time depending when the season decides to end and how wet the spring was
this is handy site for current rd conditions and /or closures pending

www.dec.wa.gov.au

sometimes the rangers do close the rd's

and would be well worth checking prior to your departure date as who knows there could be floods by then or might be bone dry ????
but for the w.a farmers sakes i hope not
there was several threads on this last year if you try google they will nearly always refer you
cheers
