east of esperance - track report

Just got back from a week east of esperance. From balladonia I took the tracksouth to mt ragged withstops at balbinya ruins and juranda rockhole. The climb up mt ragged is difficult but worth it with the sae book up the top I wrote in 2yr ago. Up until this pont the track was pretty good but gets stony and rough after it forks to the west. I turned of the ballidonia road along a cleared line that follows the parks boundary past mt baring to fisheries road and then on to poson creek. There were some good holes at the eastern end of the beach which yielded good fish between gales. I then took the track that heads over cape pasely to the top of mt pasely and beyond to a series of beaches and headlands - great view. I then headed west to alexander beach and later to east rock which has a very muddy and rutted access track and followed the beach around to the towering tagon point. I then headed back via munglingup beach and Esperance stopping off at mt ridley to check out the fascinating graniteformations. Low tides meant all beaches were easy going and I used 135l of fuel for the 700k between ballidonia and esperance
