Alternative route from balladonia?

The Baladonia track is in ok condition and not too rough. You can go through to cape arid or take the parmango road through to fisheries road near condingup. There is restored building at the junction of parmango and balladonia roads.
Also plenty to see along the way

Cheers
John

Nice little cottage approx. halfway between Balladonia and Fisherman's Road called 'Deralinya' Good spot for overnight stop.
Has been 'adopted' by some Esperance? locals who are slowly restoring it. Has long drop, fireplace, even a lounge suite and wire beds!
Don't forget to fill out the visitors book.

Hi Steve, we did the trek from espernace out to Point Culver in March witrh three very heavily loaded vehicles and had no real problems, you should have no issues at all. We tried to do the beach the whole way but goy 70mm of rain which closed nearly all roads and we ended up doing OTL only getting stick once. Just watch the beaches and tides if on your own. They are not too bad most of the time but if on my own, I'd be a bit weary as the swell can push the water right up the dunes taking averything off the beach. Ron & Vic Moon have a book that we used for planning which proved to be really usefull (I think its adventures guide across the Nullabour or something like that). Its definately worth the time to take a look.
