Rocky Gully to Nornalup WA

Hi All,

Possibly heading down to Walpole area over the long weekend, and was looking at trying a new route there or back home via the Rocky Gully to Nornalup Road.

I've seen some press in the past about how bad the road is, but I'm not sure if that's "I can't sit on 80km/h+ in a sedan therefore its a terrible road" or "There's very soft sand that you will get stuck in if you don't have lower tyre pressure and four driving wheels."

Has anyone done this road and can advise whether it's 2WD with care, 2WD with clearance or proper 4WD required?

I have driven up to Northumberland Rd from the southern end (approx 10km) and that section was an ordinary winding gravel road, but the next 20km or so is signed as '4WD Only' and I've not driven it before.
