Lane Poole Conservation Reserve

I want to do a one day trip from Perth to the Dwellingup Lane Poole area and want to include some fairly easy 4 wheel driving. Not so much for me but for another car going with me. Haven't been 4 wheel driving down there for a long time but know that some of the tracks have been closed because of erosion/die back and mining etc. Can someone point me in the right direction to get some up to date information in this regard.

Thanks

Terry

Check with the local shire, the Captain Fawcett memorial Track is a good drive, you can also Google for this one. Should be easy this time of the year, when its a bit wet can be interesting. Follows a lot of the old railway tracks, the rails are long gone.

Cheers

I second that. Did The Captain Fawcett Commemorative track few months ago. That would be a fairly easy track when dry like it's now. Few places were overgrown so some scratches may be imminent.
Here is the map we followed

Cheers,

Hi,

I can recommend the pub at the end of the Captain Fawcett Track, can't remember the name, but it is a top stop.

you can actually drive right round the lane poole

start off at baden powel and keep going - passed Yarrigal which is the last of the recognised campsites and keep following river road eventually you get to a crossing and you can drive back on the other side of the murray back to bobs crossing
