Great fun but make sure you have the right equipment
The bare minimum equipment required is a compressor to pump up your tyres after the trip. You won’t make it up the first hill on road pressures. You should also have recovery tracks and a snatch strap. Once you have all of this you will have a ball. A beautiful beach, although windy when we were there and plenty of isolation.Even without a 4 wheel drive you can visit
These dunes are worth a visit. Like a white sand desert in the in the middle of the forest. If you have a big four wheel drive you can drive there but in a normal car park at the lake and walk the 1.2 km - its not hard walk.Amazing
The best way to see this if you are not a 4WDer is to go on a Pemberton Discovery Half Day Tour - Graeme and his tema provide an unforgettable experience
