Telegraph Track Conditions

Just go and enjoy. All will be good.
If not just go around the bad bits, but i have been every year for the last 4 years and never a problem.
Nolans Brook is always deep and soft,,, (approx1000mm)....
But it is a quick in and out.
Cockatoo always wheel height this time of year..
Palm creek southern entry can be bad but the water is shallow...

Hi jogo, go into Places and just type in Telegraph track into the Basic search. This will give you half a dozen creeks with plenty of pix. If you stay 2 nights at Eliot falls you could spend an afternoon doing Canal thru to Cypress and come back for a lovely swim. But watch out for the black snakes at the campsite!!! Cheers, Glenn

Hi there

I am leaving in a week and a bit

I researched the track conditions as well, and found after searching this and other forums that it is pretty much the same as last year

Happy travels

I returned from this trip yesterday. Did the complete track from south to north. IMO this is the best way as some of the south banks were quite steep and I found it easier to drop down into them rather than try to climb from the other direction.

Palm Creek entry is one of the drops I'm talking about, but with care you will find it no trouble at all. Hug the right back as tight as you can on this one as there is a huge hole in the middle.

Water levels are not huge, although they are quite high. Cockatoo was probably the deepest with water over the bonnet.

We did the Frenchman's Track and the Pascoe at the end was a bit of a challenge. Although it's only a short crossing, the water was flowing quite strongly.

Gunshot had a number of entry points, some of which I would definately not attempt and in fact they looked like they hadn't been used in a long time.

Eliot/Twin Falls and Fruit Bat Falls are brilliant at the moment.

It was a fantastic trip, and one I would recommend everyone do at some stage.

They would be fine with the Pascoe crossing on the Frenchmans Track. It is a short crossing, a little deep and fast flowing.

Just walk it as best you can. From our trip a couple of weeks back, we kept to the right a little as there's a bit of a hole in the middle. It has a rocky bottom also which can be a little slippery, but with a little constant acceleration you will just cruise over.

All sounds a bit daunting, I know, but it really isn't that hard. There is also a bit of a ridge to climb half way up the departing bank, so give it a little to get over this and stay to the right again.

Sometimes these crossings look worse than they are. We had a LC100 with heaps of power, so no dramas at all.

All the best
