The schedule of places we visit can change depending on weather, access, road closures, Government guidelines and time etc but like you we want to get to as many as possible.
THE OLD TELEGRAPH TRACK - OTT
follows the original telegraph line through the Peninsula, and for much of the Cape’s history was the only available route.
The OTT is a rough road, 4WD access only and a 4WD enthusiasts' playground. It's only accessible during the dry season. It passes through some beautiful country with several creek and river crossings, and there are several patches of deep sand. Bush camps are set up at most creek crossings.
