Powerline track info

Just wondering if anyone can remember the turn off from Great Eastern Hwy to get onto the start of the Powerline track? I know it was just a right turn then we went left into the bush. That turn off is the street name i am looking for. This was a while ago we went on this WA cruise.

Cheers Paul

Just wait till they start putting up the railway track fence posts!! That seems to work wonders in NSW.... buggas.

Over here they still seam to just cut down the surround trees and let them lay over the tracks... little do they know that this creates a track either side of the blockage (in most cases) where the trees used to be.

tru. theres always a way to get around obstacles. or just enter from the end of the track and be forced to do it twice!!

We have done the track a few times in a big group... lots of fun... got some footage of us going over an obsticle that 2 other much larger 4wds were having problems with... come to think of it... one of them gave up in the end and tool the granny track.

Your going to miss going offroad when u sell your wagon Matt.
