coral bay to exmouth

up to date info wont help you

i asked at the visitor centre and was told now way totally uncrossable
i asked at the DEc office and was told officially no way totally uncrossable but unoficially a few well sorted 4bys driven by game people had crossed it

i had a look and the sand was medium packed and the creek was 10cm deep and about 2m wide i crossed it many times over the course of 2 days and that was as bad as it got.

obviosly no garantees it will be the same when you get there........................

Dunworkin,
Without detracting from your post, I would suggest that with both DEC and tourist bureau saying "impossible to get across", they are doing so to protect themselves from any possible litigation.
Yeah, I know it sounds rediculous, but in this day and age someone HAS to be found responsible if anything goes pearshaped, and they're making sure that it's not them by saying that it's not crossable.
It puts the responsibility fairly back where it belongs.... on the vehicle driver.

And I don't think it's a copout, just good sense on their part.

Disco.

Yes disco driver, we are well aware of that, and as you say, good sense on their part, maybe, however we thought maybe a warning to cross at your own risk would suffice, and if they were that worried get people to sign a disclaimer, not tell us that the water would be about 1/2 a metre deep at low tide when it was obvious the sandbar was stopping the water from going across anyway.
The thing is, most of us would take responsibility for what ever we did anyway, and that's the way it should be, that to me would be where the common sense lies, not telling porkies. We nearly never went to Yardi Creek at all, glad we did albeit we didn't bother crossing this time, that's on the list for next year (so long as that sandbar is still there ) LOL
