Leaving Perth and finding your way to Karridale turn left into Brockman Hwy and travel east till you come to the intersection of Brockman Highway and Scott River rd (BP01). Alternatively you can get to the Brockman Hwy by turning into Sues rd which starts just north of Busselton and cross's the Vasse Hwy. Scott River rd will take you to the western end of Milyeannup Coast rd (BP04). Turn left here and follow this due east until you come to the intersection of Milyeannup Coast rd and Woodaburrup rd (BP06).
Turning right at BP06 brings you onto Woodaburrup rd. It is only a short distance to a fenceline and sign (BP07) displaying a collection of distances concerning Woodaburrup rd. The Gingalup Swamps turnoff (BP09) is nestled amongst the trees.
The track takes you to a parking area in dense bush. Heavily forested, tight in places and extremely popular with Tiger snakes. Access to White Point would require you call the above DPAW number to check access. We went there a couple of times in the early nineties, but we had access to key for the gate.
The junction at BP15 follows a fenceline with some sandy hill climbs. The Black Point turnoff (BP19) announces its self as a large junction. The tracks into and around Black Point can be very soft and will require dropping your tyre pressures. There is no camping at Black Point itself. The camping areas near Black Point are Humpback Hollows and Seal Cove and are at the end of the side tracks that you will see on the way in. Lake Jasper also has camping, though it is at 22km from Black Point.
There are toilets located at Black Point carpark(west). Jasper Beach can be accessed at the next T-junction that you come too after leaving Black Point and heading east. Lakes Jasper, Wilson & Smith are the next points of interest.
At the eastern end of Jasper Beach is a place called Twin Karri beach which is a short 4km drive from Woodarburrup rd on ypur way to Lake Wilson etc. There is no vehicle access to the beach as it is consists of rocky and reef terrain. Black Point rd which allows access to the Point from the north is a seasonal track and has a locked gate. It is only open in the summer months so it is best to check with DPAW before tackling this track. Be wary of what mapping apps write about this road as it is not a conclusive report.
