On the
Forum Page go to Roads Report icon, click on Western Australia on the map and go from there. It is updated periodically but even if it is a month or two old, it will be pretty much the same now, as in the report(except in the wet season, ofcourse).
Cheers

Was there a month ago. Pentacost about a foot deep and very passable. The bungles track goodbut slow, the first creek has some rocks through it and needs to be crossed carefully. Took us about 2 hours.

We were there 8th August,
Spring Creek needs to be walked to find the rocks. Camping was $20 for 2 persons per night - long drop
toilets, own
camp fires &
camp host brings your wood to you at Walardi
Campsite. Road surface not to bad but very slow ( 2 hours for 53 kms) as sharp, blind corners, steepish hills & more creek crossings & watch out for incoming drivers as some
places difficult to pass with no where to go off road. Really great place & do all the walks except maybe the overnight one unless pretty fit.Really worth a quick helicopter view - just go to airport &
check out - run continuously from the busiest little airdrome we've seen. wild flowers were lovely. Cheers Heather

Me again, I think it was $10.00 per day for a vehicle and I think about the same per person per day although not too sure on the per person charge as a friend paid ours as we transported them in. The sites are basic, we stayed at the one on the west side and camped in the group
camping area where there was plenty of room. The sites are basic with a pit dunny and a tap of non drinkable water. They do supply a bit of wood for the fireplace, not much if it is cold.It was freezing at night there on the 10 th to 13th of August but it should be ok now.
