The Granite and Woodlands Discovery Trail passes though relatively remote county and there are no town between Hyden and Norseman. Plan your fuel and provisions carefully.
The Trail is 300km of unsealed gravel. Always check for road closures on both Shire of Dundas (link road report page) and Shire of Kondinin ((link road report page) websites, as the road does get closed due to wet weather. Always drive to conditions.
