I took a caravan/Jackaroo through there
Easter '06. There's a fair bit of traffic because of the mines and it's a lot shorter for the interstate freight trucks.
Expect the road to be mostly good but some sections of corrugations or maybe a short section of bulldust. 2 good camping areas with wood bbq at breakaways &
lake johnson.
If you insist on driving really fast on gravel or are intimidated by heavy vehicles - don't go this way, otherwise I reckon its the best way to start a trip across the Nullaboor.

Hi
We went from
Norseman to
Hyden last September with our 3l Patrol and Jurgens off road caravan. I cannot remember any problem with the road, and I didn't know there was supposed to be a problem with mining trucks. We camped at
Lake Johnson and enjoyed the tranquility, and ran into other ExploreOz people camping at
the breakaways, which are
well worth seeing.
There is a booklet on the
Norseman-
Hyden road which describes the vegetation in each section, and it considerably added to the interest. We also bought a booklet for $7.50 on walks on
Wave rock and only had time for 1. It was very interesting, and we will do more next time.
