oh and will using it save me time? lol
When I drove on it a couple of months ago they had only just reopened it due to the rain, slippery in some places but still sat on 100kph for most of it.
It is called Hyden Norseman Rd, cuts about 100ks of the mian road, hardly any traffic just watch for mine trucks on crests and bends.
When you get to Norseman just ask directions at any service station.
If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.

Thats what I was refering to in my post. Didn't know what sort of car he had at that time, so said to stay on the black stuff.

following Google Maps would be the best thing hey? driving across SA is pretty simple, and NSW i know that area very well but WA, it says to get to Norsmann and head north to Coolgardie the west onto Perth. is that the best way to do it or is there a more direct route as its quite a big northern detour.
TIA for the advice guys!

I use the road a bit in my meandering and #2 son works at the mines at Forrestania (about 1/2 way in) it is a great shortcut for the southern suburbs destinations
Hyden/Norseman will save you 1 to maybe 2 hours depending on the following
If it is night time when you hit Norseman I would be tempted to use the Hwy via Coolgardie rather than the dirt and wheatbelt roads.
If you are headed to Perth Northern Suburbs I would also probably stay on the Hwy as you lose most of the time saved.
If you plan on using the dirt ask at the Servo at Norseman for the latest conditions

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

For Quinns Rocks I would pretty much def stay on the Great Eastern IE from Norseman to Perth via Coolgardie, Merriden, Northam etc....
At Midland that will feed you onto Roe Hwy and the Reid Hwy/Mitchell Fwy loop towards Quinns

Car has broken down at hay. Waiting for a verdict. Off to a great start already. Something fuel related I think.
