I did half the yampire
gorge road in late 04 and it gets really messy in the middle- the track has gone completely in sections (washed away and overgrown sections) and we were picking our way through trees with swamp around them in the narrow of the
gorge. The first bit though was magic- water crossings, good scenery, some good challenges and plenty of old building remains built into cliffs and all, but of course warning signs saying dont open your windows because of asbestos.
There is no real track from weano to wittenoom- The tracks are all high up and on the opposite side of the gorges to wittenoom. Its a pain, but driving around is really the quickest way. We only did yampire
gorge because it seemed the only shortcut. Driving to the end of
wittenoom gorge leaves you at a huge 2-odd storey high pile of shale stopping any vehicles. Even if you can scramble to the top, you will high-centre.
Check out the track going around to hamersly
gorge- theres plenty of stuff along the way to make the trip worthwhile.
