Did it about 1-2 months ago, was a bit of Fun as always. there are rumours of it being closed, but haven’t been up there to have a look for my-self. I normally enter on to the Power line track at the Transformer station that is down a No Throe road on the right Just out of the Mundaring townsite.
Cheers.

There is a book out called 4wd day trips Out of
Perth or something like that.
Written by the western 4WD.
Includes the powerlines, the trip from
Guilderton to Sea Bird, and about 10 others.
Some are quite easy like the trip through the
Avon Valley National Park while others are a bit more challenging. I bought
mine from the local newsagent.
Hope this helps
Evan

If you are up for some sand driving, check out two rocks.
Head up wanneroo road for a fair while until you get the the big green sign for two rocks (Turn left) head thru the roundabouts to the end of that road and turn right at the T-
junction. Follow that one for a while until you get back to houses and to the turn off for the two rocks deli/pizza hut (left) etc, but keep going straight- where there is a reflective dead-end sign on the right, turn left into that road and follow that for a few hundred metres- there will be dozers and other machinery on the right, houses on the left- after the machinery there is a pretty obvious track on the right- follow that in and you're there. If you follow up the main track (
rock hard sand- a falcon can drive it) for a while off to the left are sand bowls.
Theres also
shacks, beaches, dunes etc... watch it on the main track tho- theres often cars or bikes hooning around corners. Last time I was there a banshee wrote off the front of a subaru.
Its about 40 mins drive from
perth to get there.

Theres also another spot close to
perth on the way to gidgegannup. Take the Roe or Great Northern HWY to
Toodyay rd, and follow that for a bit. When you start going up the darling range keep and eye to the left- where the farms stop the John Forest Nat Park starts. At the top of the
hill (after it flattens out about 1km later) behind a few of the sign posts to the left are tracks leading in. Theres some good
hill climbs and scenery in there and its about 30 mins out of town. No where near as big as two rocks but good if you only have an hour or 2 free. On the way back on
toodyay rd stock up with veggies at the market gardens at the bottom of the hills- It makes 4wding more productive than half a day at the shops.

Like the idea of a get together and do a trek for a day , I had some fantastic tracks to play on when I was in Mt Isa, bloody rugged country though, If you have google Earth check this out, These Co-Ords are direct from how my GPS sets them up so just past it in to the FLY TO , paste it in same as it is here
2 oversize Loads on the Barkly Hwy between Mt Isa and
Cloncurry
S20 45.824 E139 51.724
Mary Kathleen Town Site , and move a bit to the North East and see the old Mine
S20 46.679 E139 58.855
Now go and have a look at this photo,in the link when you have looked at the photo click on the photo
members.westnet.com.au/dtilley/chubby2.htm
Then go to this Co-Ord in Google and thats where it is , and the tracks in the area were a good chalenge
S20 41.144 E139 50.443
This Co-Ord will show a Rest Area ,move a little to the east and a track goes of of to the south, that was my favorite weekend run
S20 48.032 E139 59.778
it could be followed around to this one
S20 45.371 E139 55.446
