whats the current state of the track to Gnarloo

Can someone tell me what condition the track into Gnarloo is like at the moment.  Heading up on the 2nd April just after a heads up.. And if there is plenty of bog mats etc still on the beach or should I bring my own...

Will try to find out for you. Haven't been up further than the Blowholes turn off for a while so will ask around, no guarantees though

Thanks Carnarvonite,,  Would be greatly appreciated...  Not sure if all that rain you guys had had effected it or not..

Wash outs

Mon, 2011-03-21 23:06

Would definitely say there had been wash outs. Was last at the Blows a fortnight back and still two side tracks coming over the salt pans.

They had some rain about three weeks back but it should have dried off by now.

Yeah had that too from Paul the owner/manager. Would be nice if it gets a grade in the next few weeks. Hope fully catch some tuna for bait on the weekend.

I think the bigger issue is..

Thu, 2011-03-24 17:18

A lot of the people I see up there do not even let there tyres down on either the car or trailer for the trip in...

This does two things.  Fucks the road up.  even if it has just been graded a week later it will be stuffed if they don't let them down.  and will suff there trailer and shake the shit out of the bolts etc...

mate, was up the rocks

Sun, 2011-03-27 07:47

mate, was up the rocks yesterday- was at a spot 2/3rds of the way to the bay and there a a fair few washouts around, but most of the water is gone (the puddles that are there are shallow and avoidable). would still be taking it real easy if I was towing though
