Hyden - Noresman road condition

We used this road in early October. We travelled at 80 - 90 km (We were in no hurry) with no problems. Others we spoke to were doing 100km. It wont be a problem for you unless its wet. Check at the Hyden or Norseman road houses for the latest info.The photo was taken at the Breakaways turn off about half way between Hyden and Norseman.

Chris - There has been consistent rainfall, which has been very heavy in a number of places, right across the Southern part of W.A., since Friday night.
Places such as Newdegate and Lake Grace have recently recorded high rainfall events over short periods, with Lake Grace recording 83mm and Newdegate recording 38mm, yesterday.
The rain is ongoing, and the wintery-style storms through the Eastern part of Southern W.A. are being driven by a severe low pressure system, that is currently centred South of Esperance.
I would check with the Kondinin Shire or the locals at Hyden before travelling East, or with the Shire at Norseman before heading West in the next 2 days, to ensure that there hasn't been enough rain to make the road conditions difficult, or to even cause the road to be closed.

Kondinin Shire has a webpage dedicated to their section of the road, but the last update was 25th November 2015.

When it's good it's really good - the only time we used it we were in the 90-100k zone and it was easy going. But as Ron indicated, right now it will be wet and follow his advice on checking for local reports.

Hi
We have traveled that road many times and in the dry its great! However we have also been caught out with it being closed after some minor rainfall!!!
It was closed for 2 days last time we went through!!
I'd suggest there is a real chance of it being closed!!
Call the Hyden Shire as the open and close their end!!
Cheers

Hyden - Norseman road is currently open to all traffic, as at 2pm WA time 6/12/2015. Cheers

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Think i'll take the long road via Kal. I've been caught out in situations like this before.
Will re-approach the road on the way back in January, hopefully it's dried up and in reasonable condition by then.
Thanks again.
