Information

The Telegraph station ruins at Israelite Bay are heritage listed and being stabilised by the Heritage Council works. Native vegetation is being replanted and noxious weeds eradicated to improve the site.
An impressive building with a cellar and three fireplaces with chimneys still intact. Much better than the one at Eucla but much less accessible.

Hi, looking at travelling from Esperance to Caiguna along the coast using the telegraph track. Taking my 12yr old son on an adventure. Anyone with some information on track conditions and is it worth the risk going solo in our 2016 hi lux with good amount of T of self recovery gear. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance Paul.
