Perth to Norseman: Road trip distance, driving time & best stops

Perth to Norseman road trip: Mundaring and Chidlow

Shortly afterwards, the highway goes through Mundaring. It’s a short diversion from here to Lake O’Connor, the artificial lake created by Mundaring Weir. The results of this weir will be seen later along the journey, but you can read the back story at the National Trust-run No. 1 Pumping Station.

Further along on the leg from Perth to Northam, you can visit the Karakamia Sanctuary in Chidlow, where critically-endangered wildlife is protected.

Before you reach Northam, there are a few nature reserves, none of which are exactly essential viewing.
