Usually I didn’t reception (Vodafone). But even I had reception at Walegh and Mount Wells. Honestly I didn’t try that often after a while. It was so disappointing.

DRV is fringe Telstra, but you get a reliable signal for calls and data on the village outer ring road just behind cottage #23 (highest point in the village). It is possible to get Optus further diwn the ring road – about cottage 29, but less reliable.
Walpole to Northcliffe section – Mobile network coverage very weak through this section. Unusually more of them big black snakes than in previous years for some reason! We saw a HUGE one sunbathing on the track, standing water either side of the track. This HUGE black mamba rises up like a cobra-kinda-stand-off. This thing would not move … so we just went around it. This would have been the biggest snake that I have personally seen in 4 decades ‘out there’ in WA.

Telstra.
Very, very weak at White Horse.
No bars.
Single bar at Mt Wells. Stramge considering the tower on the same hill.
