Perth to Adelaide by road

Last time I did the Nullabour was in June/July so pricing is not relevant. BUT fill up at Norseman, and avoid Baladonia if possible. It has always been the dearest on the Plain. Next dearest is Bordertown. Eucla only about 50kms west is always cheaper.

Get yourself a good map (perhaps a Hema Atlas.) Follow the thick red line east of Perth to Koolgardie and down to Norseman. Then follow the Highway 1 to Adelaide.

Fuel prices - Petrol Spy - Fuel Prices & Fuel Watch in Australia - Bookmark it in your "Bookmarks Toolbar." Each time you fill up note the price of all the fuels they sell and update that fuel station.

As stated your range is the hugh unknown if your 750 ks then Norseman, Ecula ,Ceduna or Penong Porta Gutta then Adelaide. Rod was spot on with his assesment of the middle roadhouses. There is no servo up the road so your locked in to a needs basis longest distance from memory is Norseman to Balladonia at 200ks . Prices are same as every where they change but with the price hike arround at the moment I would think you,ll pay between $1.80 to $2.00 .

As others have said Balladonia best avoided on principle. Mundrabilla and Eucla usually cheaper than others in my experience.

But in the overall 10 cents a litre for a full tank is probably less than a sandwich and a drink out there.

As for route? Well just get to Midland, head up Greenmount Hill and follow the Highway 1 signs.

If you have the time the Eyre Pennisula diversion is worthwhile but adds significantly to the distance.

Enjoy the drive. There is a bit to see and it really does bring home to you just how big this country is.

Cheers

Basically either Gt Eastern Hwy to Coolgardie then down to Norseman and follow the black bit eastwards, OR Perth - Hyden - Norseman (see recent thread 135988 - "Road condition report needed") and then as above. The latter is no problem in any roadworthy sedan.

Geez, its easier than finding my way to the local KFC.
and you can't avoid paying for fuel.
Let's all get our ipads out to flog this one ad nauseam.

Be aware that fuel stations in norseman and balladonia are owned operated by same family.

Sadly the local fuel store was closed down number of years ago in Norseman as that was always bit cheaper than the main "highway" r/houses.

Many professional drivers complain about the standards of service at Norseman RH, inability to have showers and food quality left to be desired.

Cocklebiddy been mentioned few times as having good food, haven't had opportunity to check it out fuel mentioned at 183 cpl for diesel from 8 days ago

Best advice if you see or hear of good price top up even if its only 1/2 tank or less, carrying extra maybe useful but limited to 1 x 20l container can't be stored inside passenger compartment

plenty of road houses will be closed over next few days for Holiday observances
