Access to the reserve typically is via short, gravel tracks. I advise making a stop at the local town of Katanning (about 3 hours from Perth) and then heading out to the reserve which is about 15 minutes east of the town. Head out during the day and allow a few hours to go exploring, as there are many opportunities around that may take a bit of walking to get to.

I've been to the region at the beginning of autumn when there hasn't been much rain. Potentially the area could get quite wet and muddy after heavy rain - so be warned. Even during the summer there are small patches of standing water. Approaching these the ground turns muddy and boots are essential. However, some areas of water are very orange in colour and look quite striking in contrast to the white salt beds surrounding them.

There is faint Telstra mobile coverage over most parts of the reserve.
