Would I be correct in assuming that most of the above section of the Telepgrah Track is typically sandy or
limestone.. travelling solo in a few days and keen to explore the Telegraph Track section west from Eyre to the point where
the beach sections begin at which point I'll be heading out to the Highway on the Eyre/Baxter Road
I know its been wet this year and I'm looking to understand if this may rule out doing this track..
well equipped, but always cautious solo.

G'day Duncan,
I was at EBO on a motorcycle in early May. The old telegraph line heading west from the EBO access road was flooded at the 5km point.
The track from Cocklebiddy to Twighlight Cove was also flooded.
The EBO Caretakers or Cocklebiddy staff may be able to provide an update.
Regards, Geoff.

My first trip south from the Eyre Highway to the western end of the cliffs a decade ago was after a bit of rain.
My memory tells me that I was thinking then "this would be dodgy after a lot of rain."
Two years ago the track out from Toolina Cove was very sandy and cut up.
I had the same thought.
They have had a lot of rain this year! The country along the Eyre Highway in April and May looked like farmland.
Even if the Telegraph Track is rocky but passable the roads out might be tricky.
Good luck with it, the cliffs are a special place.
Cheers

We did that track in June 2018, Duncan.
Went south from Cocklebiddy to
Twilight Cove, camped the night there & in morning, walked out to
the beach. Then headed off on Tele Track. Camped next night at
junction of Baxter Cliffs track, after driving out to the cliffs. Windy as, out there!
Continued on to Wylie Scarp & camped at a “
campground” at the back of
the beach. Rubbish everywhere!
Rained overnight, & next day drove down
the beach past
Bilbunya Dunes, to
Israelite Bay, then onto
Esperance, late that day.
Recall there was at least 2 tracks exiting the Tele Track north. One at Baxter Cliffs & the other before getting to Wylie Scarp?
