Any one here done the road from Norseman to Perth via Hyden?
I have heard it's pretty much a dry weather road unless the graders have been through. I've also heard that some spots are a bit close for comfort if you meet caravans etc.
I'm confident the Nav will make it but having never been that way before and copping about 6 inches of rain in 40 minutes last year when we got to Norseman I was wondering if the road was a viable alternative to the Highway. According to Google it will save about 120ks and get me closer to the side of Perth I want but if that distance saving means driving at 60ks then it may not be worth it.
I've done the bit from Hyden to Armadale so it's really only the section to Hyden I'm unsure of. Although rain can happen at any time and turn dirt roads into slush I'm looking at doing this in Dec/Jan if that makes any difference
