hi grunta 1970
according to the holland track book i have here it is 354km's from hyden town to coolgardie on the holland track
the wave rock caravan pk 08 98805022
tag along tours hyden local farmer dobbie graham for imfo 08 98807024
and for about $15 you can buy the holland track book which will be be very usefull in you knowing where you are at while travelling through there including all the history and locallities along the way well worth the money
the condition of the track at this time of the year is generaly very hot hard dry and dusty and your bike will roll along with little resistance if you can stay in the wheel tracks there will be several old bogholes along the way in the hol
lows to watch out for
if you are going alone or even in company then it is very advisible at this time of the year and at any time for safety reasons to notify some one at both ends of your intended departure and arrivals times then if you dont arrive they will activate a search and resque the hyden police are used to this and have always been helpfull in this respect
a roo or emu could cut across in front of you and put you off your bike they are out there
or maybe have mechanical problems
thats a fact and you will need a sensible quantity of water incase of unfore seen trouble and some food to servive on it would be a very challenging walk in this summer heat and you wont last long with out water and food
afair know not many people travel that road at this time of the year
the manager at the hyden caravan park is always a handy source of imfo and usually helpfuland the hyden police
cheers hope this is of use
enjoy the ride and have a safe journey

Grunta 1970 I would strongly recommend doing it in the cooler months and not doing it alone. It doesn't look very isolated when you look at it on the map but it is.
We tend use the term 'track' fairly loosely these days but this is truly a track. As previously mentioned there are bog holes and they will loom up on you very quickly on a bike and the track can weave around the wooded sections very close to trees. One little mishap and you won't see any help for quite some time. We were out there for 3 days late in Aug a few years ago and didn't see anyone the whole time we were there.
