Nuytsland Nature Reserve

Incorporating the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight and ocean beaches, Nuytsland Nature Reserve encompasses close to 500km of coastline and stretches from Cape Arid National Park eastward to Red Rock Point. The Eyre Bird Observatory and sections of the old Overland Telegraph Line,constructed in 1876, are within the reserve. Access to the west of the reserve is by four-wheel-drive along Fisheries Road through Cape Arid National Park. This is a remote area and recommended for self-sufficient campers only.
There is a Park Entrance fee obtained from the Cape Arid National Park about $10 per vehicle.
Point Malcolm camping area is a small site near beach access area.
Much of the trip includes long distance beach driving, rough pavements, extensive scrubby stretches and some deep sand plus some easy dune driving making this trip suitable for experienced 4WDers only. Telegraph Track sections are generally slow going over firm sand with extensive limestone outcropping. The limestone significantly slows progress as does encroaching scrub – expect scratches. Evidence of the Telegraph is seen by the occasional remnants of poles and insulators and for long stretches, a single steel wire snakes along the route.
