Wave Rock

At least 3 ways I can think of.
way1) turn south at Norseman and then right along the lake king road which goes past Peak charles and through the Frank Hann nat park then up to Hyden

2) Emu fence road - not alot to see

3) Hyden Norseman road

I have travelled the first 2 routes but not the last (most direct) All these roads are typical WA dirt roads (as in much better than the ones we had in SA when I left)
while stones getting kicked up is always a possability on unsealed roads this is not really stony area such as the birdsville track etc. All 3 roads will be closed in the event of rain

Blaze,

Although it is the long way to get there, the Esperance trip would be well worth their effort and time.

I work at LJO located on the Norseman-Hyden Rd. The Noseman to LJO (130k) is in excellent condition and well travelled by caravaners. The remainder i(150k) s a little rougher, but will pose no issues. There are a few sites to stop at along the way.

I'd recommend the fence road (the turn off shortly after yellowdine). The roads there for the most part are dead flat yellow sand. I managed to get 140km/h on these where I could only crack 120 on bitumen, and it was even smoother than bitumen driving. There are a couple of stop signs, and it turns to gravel then bitumen as you get closer to Hyden, but its smoother than the last section of the hyden-Norseman haul road. The downside is you will blow more on petrol as it is a fair bit further to drive.
All said, I have mates with lowered HSVs and other road cars that do the Norseman-Hyden rd without a problem. Just watch out for haul trucks cruising down the middle of the road.

The last time I travelled the Norseman Hyden road was about 2 yrs ago, Oct. The road was in good condition, certainly fine for caravans, but signs do warn that rain can make the road impassible. Plenty of wildflowers and quandongs ripe for the eating.
Alternatively, October is a fantastic time of the year to travel the south road via Esperance, with a multitudinous plethora (love those words) of wildflowers in bloom.
