We tried to head up to Balladonia from Poison Creek a few months ago out of interest & head back to Norseman but gave up & went back the normal road & then up to Kalgoorlie & Great Central Road back east to home. The road (goat track) was overgrown & one continuous pothole.

Well, silly old me had to read that twice then go back and check the heading because I saw at the end of the heading CLOSED and thought gee, that thread was closed fast and couldn't read why. I thought 'Webmaster' had sneaked in and closed it without anyone looking or maybe had had way too much eggnog.  SORRY CINDY biggrin

Yep, silly old me.




Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Thanks for putting that up, Des and Jane

The authorities over here in the west, are very diligent in closing the roads, because of fire

It was not so long ago, that we had two major fatalities, due to fire on the highways

Truck drivers lost their lives east of Coolgardie, after they had been given the all clear, unfortunately the wind changed, while they were on the road

In later years, one local, and three tourists, lost their lives north of Esperance

I did not realise it was that long ago, JeffRay

I do remember that I was on that road, about one month before the tragedy

I lived in Kalgoorlie for about twenty years, and at that time, I still had plenty of friends in the Goldfields

Just heard that the Eyre Hwy and the Norseman to Esperance rd are now both open to traffic. However the Coolgardie to Norseman stretch remains closed.
