Hi Guys, where did you have in mind? I was thinking about heading to Blencoe Falls for an overnighter, Via Mt Garnet, Gunnawarra Road, Cashmere Crossing, Blencoe and back down to the coast if the Kirrima Range Road road is open (passable). The coast road has been officially closed since Larry but I hear it's open, but a bit rough.

Cheers

We went for a drive along this route on the weekend just to see the falls.
The road was very drivable and I would consider it an easy 4WD track. The road from Blenco to Kennedy has road closed signs up although no one really listens to them.
There is a few corrugations at the worst along this stretch.
All up it is one of the most scenic drives I have ever been on.
If any of you guys do go, take a chainsaw in case there is any trees across the road.

Getting a bit off topic now, but yes it's a great place for a visit. I have been there 6 or 7 times in the past ten years. Not a serious 4WD track by any means, but certainly a place worth a visit and if you do want serious 4WDing you could head back North along the track towards Koombaloomba Dam way. The folks at Goshen Station told me in May last year that the closed road was very rough so I took them at their word. It's a very nice drive for those interested, and the falls are just a magnificent spot with some nice camping spots as well by Blencoe Creek.

Cheers
