Hyden-Norseman Road? Reports please.

It is a good wide gravel road as it is maintained for road trains from the mines, so the only time it may be difficult is if there have been recent very heavy rains in the area. If when the time comes there is any doubt, ring Main Roads in Perth.

All WA dirt roads i have ever seen are virtual highways. if it is hit by rain they can become like grease and alot of common sense is needed depending of wheather it is constructed from clay or granitic sand - a navara should eat it for breakfast

I drove that road from Norsman to Hyden some 20 years ago in my good old trusty work provided Falcon Station wagon. If I could get that thru then I am sure that you can get a Navara thru now.

A cruiser towing a standard road van flew past us a few weekends ago while at the Holland Track /Hyden Rd so he must of come the whole way from Norseman. Guess the way he was travelling that the road was a doddle.

Went as far as Breakaways less than 2 weeks ago - great road - just look out for roadtrains carting nickel from mine midway across. Then went up Victoria Rocks Rd to Coolgardie & back down Caves Hill Rd & out at Widgemooltha - never saw another vehicle after the Breakaways. Over 60 varieties of gum trees - all looking fabulous as in Autumn finery & washed clean by the rain. Stop at each singposted 'point of interest', have a read & a walk. I come from that area & still learnt something new - there is a 'nickel gum' that only grows where nickel is found. Pity there isn't a 'gold gum'. Cheers Heather
