Israelite Bay to Balladonia

By all accounts, including the sign I saw at the Balladonia end the "Balladonia Track" is permanently closed. Is that how you intended to get to Balladonia? When I did the track a few years back there were some significant holes at the start (southern end) that would have caused problems for a van.

Coming north from Israelite Bay in 2006.

G'day, I'm very familiar with that neck of the woods, having explored there by four wheel drive and motorcycle many times over the last 20 years, with the last visit being June 2022.

I have a single axle off road capable van and wouldn't even consider taking it to Israelite Bay, or north from there to Balladonia. The sandy tracks through heathland on the way to Israelite Bay via Fisheries Road are OK in places, but there are numerous bogholes, washouts and slappy sticks to keep you alert, as well as a major salt lake system. Heading north from the coast past Mt Ragged and along Balladonia Road you enter Eucalypt Woodland, with rough, rocky sections and more bogholes. Once you get to the junction of Balladonia Road and Parmango Road a caravan could be taken through with care in dry conditions.

OK, thanks guys, looks like that may be a tad adventurous with the caravan.
