Join Tony, Em and Club 4×4 on the “Old Telegraph Track” from Esperance to the Eyre Bird Observatory from the 27 Nov 2025 to 7 Dec 2025.

This is an amazing trip through a very remote and beautiful part of Australia.

This trip is taking place in about 6 months and there is a lot of planning to do. We will be running the bookings for the Trip using the “Expression of Interest” system as we do for all longer trips like this. This allows the Trip Leaders and the Club to gauge how many people are interested prior to more detailed planning happening. Once we have an initial number or interested parties Tony and Em will organise information and planning sessions. Tony and Em would like to take a max of 4 vehicles on this trip.

A little History from the article below:

“In the late 1800s telegraph was a new technology transforming the speed at which people could communicate, but 1200 kilometres of harsh country stood in the way of a link between WA and the rest of Australia. Work began in 1875 to connect existing stations at Albany and Port Augusta. It was an epic task. For three years men on packhorse battled through rough mallee scrub, sandhill country, and waterless cliffs, erecting timber bush poles and running a single strand of galvanised iron wire between repeater stations.  They followed a vague route made only a few years earlier by Edward Eyre, the first European explorer to cross the Nullarbor. Today the stretch of Old Telegraph Line between Esperance and Cocklebiddy is a 500 kilometre four-wheel-drive trail. It runs along some of WA’s most remote coast. Following the line is not an easy journey, but for experienced and well-equipped travellers it follows an incredible story through some of Australia’s most raw and beautiful country.”
