Hope someone can assist, we intend on travelling through from
Augusta to
Denmark in July and are interested in some of the offroad areas between them.
I looked on Raster and it seems you can get from the Brockman Hwy to Stewart Hwy then join into the South Western Hwy just
above Lambert, (approx 10k’s below Manjimup). This will save us going up through
Nannup and
Bridgetown. All vehicles will be towing campers, largest being a Cub Camper Spacevan.
I hope this makes sense to all who know the area.

Hi Blaze,
I live in
Albany, just up the road from that area. Brockman Hwy and Stewart Rd are both good bitumen roads. Many of the minor roads that you see marked on maps south of Manjimup are forest logging roads and can be in various stages of disrepair, depending on when they were last used by the logging trucks. Some of the roads are for logging trucks only and are
sign posted accordingly, but many of the roads are open to the public. We've been through a lot of this area in our Rodeo towing a camper trailer and mostly the roads are an easy drive, just be careful for the odd wash out or a tree over the road. Also in July you may strike the odd
creek crossing that could stop you. The biggest problem we found in the area is the number of roads and tracks that aren't marked on our maps. If you start making to many turns without watching where you are going you can get lost pretty quick.
