Wapet Track

Hi TTD, We are heading to the coburg Peninsular in July this year, also towing an Aussie Swag, can you give us any info on the roads into and on Coburg, any info will be greatly appreciated

TTD, as of May last year, Telfer were intending to change the position of their security gate so that tourists going south to Rudall did not ned to go through it. That said, there is no problem going through anyhw. It is a public road.
The road west from Punmu has been quite OK (for us) when we have used it (last in May '08).
The road south via Telfer to Rudall was washed out somewhat in '05, but not enough to give you grief. Would have had some work on it since then.
There is NextG reception from the top of the hill north of Telfer on the Punmu road.

Cheers,

The wapet west of Lake Auld is usually in good condition bar the odd corrugation and rocky patch usually worst round the communities due to extra traffic. The road south from Telfer is quite sandy and see's a fair bit of use from the locals heading between Parnngurr and Punmu. You should have no problems just let your tyres down to accomodate the loose sand. Sand is more apparent south of Moses Chair. Be aware that the top hand pump had been hijacked by a geosurvey mob as of July last year. They may have gone. The bottom handpump was producing rancid, undrinkable water. I'll be in Rudall myself from the 29th June for 10 days or so.

Cheers. Mick
