PS Motherhen a member of this site has traveled it and I'm sure they tow a Bushtraker with a F250

Hi Richard

We went through when we were towing with the Patrol, and have been through part of it with the F250 not towing. The more southern Lake King Road is a shorter way home for us.

Mh

The Lake King Norseman "Track" is shorter but it has washouts pot holes and there is about 500mm of water over the road 20-30k west of 90 mile tank.
Went thru on Thurs/Friday, sign at Norseman said road open. Once we got on track near Charles Peak turnoff sign said closed water over road no turn around room, with VW Touareg and 21ft off road caravan sooo kept going no problems average speed around 55-60kph

Supporting what you say Eric. There are some great rocks which give Wave Rock serious competition, and the Breakaways is worth a look even if you aren't ready to camp. We have always had these places completely to ourselves. Even Lake Johnston would be a nice camp spot, although not screened from the road like the others. It is a lovely drive, but as said, watch out for the mining road trains coming speeding through - it is 'their road'. It is a wide road, so plenty of room to pass.

gwezza, a quieter alternative is from a bit south of Norseman on the Norseman Lake King Road through the Frank Hann NP. It is much quieter and it is narrower. There seems to be some mining company activity out that way now, but i have not seen road trains on it. Again it is a clay road, so caution is required after rain, but we have been through it in heavy rain with our Bushtracker when towed with the Patrol without any problems. You can camp at Peak Charles (and climb it), but we have not done so.
