I have a Landcruiser camper van with a hardtop which make my car quite high. I plan to do a trip to Kalgoorlie using the 4WD track between Wave Rock and Norseman and also the one north of Kalgoorlie going back to Coolgardie.
Do you have some feed back on those tracks or any good advise to drive these ways ?
I'm also interrested by any recommendations on nice place to see / visit on the way.

Thanks

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

Are you talking about the old road from Norseman; about 19 kms to the north and unmaintained 4wd only track? This joins the road from Lake Johnson to Kalgoorlie, then the rest of the way to Wave Rock uses on the same road as the way we have travelled according to the map. This is taking the new road which leaves from closer to Norseman The new road between Hyden and Norseman is a good dirt road, well maintained for the mining co. road trains, which are the main hazard as their roar through, knowing the road is their's. Interesting tourist trail of features is well signed. We backed out with the caravan when we got to the unmaintained 4wd only sign on the old road - my husband said i had no spirit of adventure. If you take it, let us know what it is like, then maybe next time!

I can't comment on the Kalgoorlie - Coolgardie route.
