I just had a call from Peter McGrath, whose mate in FESA knows the right people out that way. The HYDEN-NORSEMAN road IS CLOSED today (Tuesday). He reckons that even if it is open tomorrow and Thursday, there has been plenty of rain and the trucks will chew it up.
So, our group leaving on Thursday will be camping at Karalee Dam, and not taking the Hyden road.
We will probably head out through Bruce Rock and Merredin, then along the Great Eastern to Karalee Dam, then meet everyone at Balledonia Friday night.
