Holland Track

Wayne I and a few other bods from here tried to do the track last Sept/Oct LWE the entire area was flooded. Never seen as much water out that way. Did the track last Easter 08 and the fires hadn't affected Thursday Rock, but there was quite a bog hole going into it when you turned of the main Holland Track.

Hope the weather is kinder to you than it was for us.

WRT driving over rocks some DH had tried driving up the rocks around Cave Hill. Total morons!!!!!!!!!!!

G'day Dunc,

Saw a LOT of water on our first trip along the track ............ way back when, and we hope that the weather will be kinder on this trip.

Maybe a slip with the campsites, Thursday Rock was not affected on our last trip,though we are just checking on all sites for the future trip.

WRT ............ Driving on the rocks ............. people should do the powerline track..... if they want a challenge ........... and keep off the others!

The changes to the camping areas around Victoria Rock happened because a group of 4WD'ers felt the need to drive onto the rock ........ and take pics of their deed ........ and then posted them on their website!
DEC (CALM) took a dim view of this, yet the (group) promotes responsible 4WDing?? Go Figure!

Apart from the weather, we hope you enjoyed you time on the track.

Cheers,
Wayne & Sally.

Reminds me of something I seen several years ago, being a picture (web site) of about 25 vehicles up on the top Elchubutting Rock they were members of one of the biggest clubs here in WA. It amazed me cause they promote all the environment issues yet the eco system of all these rocks evolve over 100's of years and tyre tracks destroys them in minutes.

Thursday Rock was unaffected by fire and is a nice campspot. There is still the mudhole before the rock if it rains. Didn't come through Sandlewood Rock us I came down the Duri Track from Boorabbin then north east onto Holland Track.
The three radio transmitters on the track are out of order, the transmitters have been removed for repair, not sure when they will be back. With regards to the burnt areas and some of the regen, it looks like it could be a good wildflower season on the track with the reecent rains already bringing some stuff into flower.

Bit of rain this week but as long as there is no more it should dry out enough to be a good trip. The edges of the granites can hold moisture for a while so keep an eye open there. A lot of the area has been burnt in fires over the last couple of years but there is still some nice areas to camp. Wildflowers just starting to appear if you get out and have a look around. Expect cold nights if it is clear otherwise enjoy your trip.
