I have stayed at Fowlers Bay in the past and it is a beautiful place. Consider the slight detour there.

Also there are a lot of wombats on the Nullarbor. Interesting to see. If you drive at night be careful. You would not want to hit one.

Hi Michaeljp,

Take your time doing the crossing. Too much to see and experience.

1. Get some old golf clubs and play the 'International Golf Course". It spaces out the driving and you get a lovely certificate at the end. Donate the clubs at Kalgoorlie when you are finished. Or Ceduna if going the other way.

2. Take some old sneakers, high heels etc as well as a bra or Bondi Bloomers, so you can add to the collections draped in the trees. Good for a photo or two as well.

3. The usual sightseeing things about which you can find anywhere. Even on this site!

Its great camping in the bush too.

Hi Michael,

The Nullarbor is a great trip and there are many things just off the road that are worth seeing.

I've written a blog a few years ago about some of the places just west of the border. I was out there at Christmas time too!!
Baxter Cliffs, Hampton Tableland and some Western Nullarbor Tracks

Twilight Cove is certainly worth a visit as you pass.

Cheers
Alan

By far the best thing if you have the time and it's not too late is a tour of Maralinga.

Search for an article on it on this site.

One of the best places I have ever been. Fantastic and not to be missed.

The coast west of Fowlers is superb.
Knowles cave is probably too small to bother flying a drone in, but there are other BIG caves on the Nullarbor like Mullamilang (sp?), Abracurrie, Koonalda. No idea about access these days though.

Cheers,

we could see fig trees in the cavern at Koonalda just last June - an incredibly interesting place with all the car wrecks

Plenty to see across the Nullarbor, if you go into one of the rest areas where the cliffs are don't stand too close to the edge, the weather over the years has eroded in under some places and if you stand there it could collapse, it's a good 90m drop on your way to your maker.

.

Eyre Bird Sanctuary and a drive along the beach down there. Also Ivy Tank - 48 kms to the east of Nullarbor Roadhouse on the old Eyre Highway ...... see Hema GDT South Central Map. There is a tower just to the East of the Head Of The Bight road, and a track opposite leads to the old Eyre Hwy.

cheers

The ABC did an interesting series of Podcasts about crossing the Nullarbor 3 or 4 years ago:
