I wouldn't be so worried about other traffic on the track - even in busy times like
Easter, you're only likely to encounter a few vehicles, or groups of them.
What is a much bigger issue in my mind is how wet it will be. The track seems to me to be just about completely destroyed in
places where people have ploughed through large puddles turning them into huge bog holes that require horrendous recovery efforts that can completely spoil your trip, especially if SWMBO doesn't like getting muddy.
Ring DPAW or the
Coolgardie & Kondinin shires the day or two before you're intending to go and have an alternative if there's been more than 10 mm of rain in the past week or so. At that time of year there are some great alternatives, particularly north of
Southern Cross or north-east of
Wubin with great
wildflowers etc. There's also the Dunn Track from
Ravensthorpe to
Norseman or the Woodlines south of
Coolgardie and south east of Kal.
Enjoy
