Norseman road prone to corrugations? I don't mind dirt roads but will go the long way to
Norseman if it is like some of the roads down Cape Arid way....... judda judda juddda bbbbuuuummmppppyyy.

Hi Bill
We have always found it in good order and
well maintained. Others may differ. It is used by
mine haul trucks and i think they keep it pretty
well maintained. Like all dirt roads in the area, when there is a lot of rain it is a different story, and at times like this it may be closed. There is a brochure detailing the features signed along the way and some excellent
camp sites (pit
toilet only) and i have a link to the downloadable version. Stop in at
The Breakaways for a look if not to
camp; pretty, close to but
well hidden from the road. Our other favourite
camp is at
Lake Johnston. Open, but road is quiet at night.

Thanks MH, I am thinking late December - so rain is less likely. Be plenty hot though.

Ditto - we came along there about 2 years back and I don't recall any corrugations at all - it was a very good gravel road at that stage (as for those biting bush flies a bit west of
Norseman though .........not funny !).
