.... other than the Brand Hwy ?

daunted

We were there in July last year and the road was still under construction. I THINK it was opened at the beginning of 2009

elmtree

Thanks.

Do us a favour. Will you nip out now and drive up that way and see if it IS open ?

I'm off to bed now but if you leave a message on here when you get back in then I'll get it in the morning.

Ta.

You can drive up the beach from Lanno to Cervantes.

Just been on holiday in WA. Loved every minute although Cervantes is a horrid place. Thought the Pinnacles was nice although a little overrated.

Lake Ballard is beautiful.

Yes, but is there a road?

daunted

Isnt there a section of the beach that you cant access cos of Navy firing range? (could make the trip interesting!) Or is that north of lancelin

i think its 4 wheeled drive only as we had to use brand highway - and we were there only 2 weeks ago - just checked my map and it says 4 wheel drive only

Notts_bloke

Renth has already given the answer.

elmtree

So, no proper road suitable for a motorhome, then ?

Just the Brand Hwy ?

hitchcock71

no we had to use brand hwy

renth

True, but the firing range is only rarely in use. When it's not being used you can keep on going up the beach.

I always thought Wedge Island (which is north of Lancelin) was like something from Mad Max with little kids on quad bikes and children driving totally knackered old 4x4s. A bit different.

There will be a sealed road but it isn't open yet. I don't think it will be in the next year or two so its a big diversion via the Brand Highway.

You can drive over the dunes in a 4WD. But the army closes it occasionally for live firing practice so check the West Australian unless you want to be used for target practice!
