Have you done this section before, and just asking about latest on a particular section ?
Are you just planning on going to
Israelite Bay, maybe explore around the inland tracks behind the dunes and the beach, then exiting back from
Israelite Bay to Balladonia ?
Or going further to top of Wylie Scarp and exiting from up there ?
Just asking as it would be handy to know if you're happy doing the west - east direction, or take the other way heading towards
home on the main off road section.
I recall the section from Iraelite Bay to the Fisheries Road park exit was quite ok, and it had rained a lot the previous couple of days.
We did the old route from
Caiguna / Twylight Bay to
Esperance in mid 2018, and did Bilbunya (east)
beach camp to
Israelite Bay along the beach, rather than the inland track, this part was supposedly quite water logged when wet (and it was raining quite a bit).
If going through west - east, going up Wylie Scarp would be interesting at the best of times without a locker and some really good low range skills picking lines.
If detouring out from
Israelite Bay to Balladonia, be sure to
check out Deralinya
homestead on the way through.
We camped there, really sweet spot under the old shed verandah.

Hi Les,
cheers for the reply.
I was looking at only doing that
Norseman to Balladonia track as I've only got a couple of days unfortunately.
I've never done this track before but I've been doing some research on it and have read it can get quite wet and sloppy in
places.
id love to go down to
Israelite bay eventually but might wait for some slightly warmer weather haha.
myself and a mate are planning to do a trip from
Bremer bay along the coast to Twilight bay/
Caiguna next year which should be good.
regards
