Traveling via the Hyden Norseman Road the turn off is approximately 75km west of Norseman or 214 km east of Hyden. The track goes in about 200m to a clearing where you can turn around. When we last visited the rock, 4x4's were permitted to drive up the rock via a side track. Please check with the authorities before you attempt the drive to make sure it is still permitted. Don't know how the rock obtained it's name, but a walk up to the top of the rock gives wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. After rains numerous rock-holes hold water and the deeper ones have plenty of really fat tadpoles.
Couple of clearings for camping,travel stop or picnics are among the spindly shrubs and trees at the base of the rock. There isn't much shade. but the wildflowers and bird life during winter and spring make this area well worth a spot over. There are no fees to my knowledge.
The "Holland Track" cuts across the Hyden Norseman Road.
Easter time the "Holland Track" is usually very busy as it can be done quite easily over the holiday break by amateur or professional camper. We have traveled on the "Holland Track" twice over the years and enjoyed it both times.
