Norseman to Hyden [wave rock]

When we crossed The Paddock last year fuel was cheaper at Ceduna, Mundrabilla and Norseman but in the town - Diesel Patrol so not many fuel stops

Its a very good dirt road andan interesting drive.

all the stations bar 2 on the Nullabor (I forget which ones) are owned by the same ned kelly Road was featured in a western australian camping mag and was described as good 2wd suitable for caravans. Another option is to head south from Norsenam and take the road that goes past peak charles (v worthwhile) and the Frank hahn nat park to Lake King. Have an alternate route planned as heavy rain will close all these dirt roads

It's a good road Willys . Travel'ed it in January . Happened to glance down at the speedo at the right time and cought myself doing 115 k's . Needless to say , i backed off very quickly . Cheers

Hi willys,

We travelled that way in the reverse in 1994. Wave Rock, Hippos Yawn, Mulka's Cave and Gnamma Holes all well worth the look. Also we came across the wreckage from an airforce plane that had crashed in 1944. I cannot remember the exact location, but it was worth a look also. The pilot had to walk for four days with no food or water before he was found, the co-pilot was never found.

Enjoy

Cheers

Good road, well maintained for mining trucks, well signed tourist interest points. Beware of LionOre road trains coming at you full speed - it is their road. Make sure you take the correct road which leaves just North of Norseman - the one shown on some maps (like the map we bought from Explozoz for the trip) leaves further North of Norseman is not maintained, and sign says "serious 4w driving".

Thanks for the replys looks a goer.

The Norseman - Hyden road is dirt but has been upgraded to an all- weather road. The caravan park at Hyden charges $17 night for tent, this price includes National Park fees and access to Wave rock RANGERS DO CHECK, not sure about powered sites, the caravan park is not large but ablution block and showers are clean and has only two electric bar-b-ques. I stayed there in Jan 2005
