Adelaide to Broome Via HWY A1

Check out Pildappa Rock, north of Eyre H'way, and Murrawijinie Caves, north of Nullarbor Roadhouse. Also Baxter Cliffs, south of Caiguna. We camped at all three on our WA trip in June. Might be a bit windy at the Cliffs, we camped some k's back in the scrub.

Had some other great Camps too, but if I suggested them you'd be travelling for more than 8 days.

Crusier, early January? You will be just in time for the cyclone. lol

But yes, I like Broome too, but only to visit in the cooler months.

Watch your step, or rather front wheel if you visit caves on the Nullarbor as we encountered several large wombat holes right on the edge of the wheel tracks.

I think you will enjoy the trip up the WA coast too. If you can extend the "8 days" there is much to see in the Pilbara, but then you will be able to pop down from Broome later eh?

You can go into the Places on this site and click Map to look at the area you are going. There's over 90,000 POIs in our database and there are interactive symbols on the map with info about each one. This data is also included in our app ExplorOz Traveller which you might like to put on your phone/iPad or laptop/tablet as you then you will have access to the info when you are offline too, as well as our maps, EOTopo. The free camps are shown with a green tent symbol and most will have been loaded by ExplorOz enthusiasts so should have comments, photos other useful bits of info about the place. You can also add your own photos, comments etc. Not sure where you are starting from for a Broome trip via the Nullarbor in 8 days, but there are great spots you can get to below the cliffs along the beach line when you get closer to the WA border (we also have trek notes for that area if you need more info). Otherwise there are lots of good tracks north of the main highway but you'd possibly need more time if you were wanting to explore. If just looking for free camps along the highway, take note of the many PBays and you'll find tracks leading out the back, many can reveal great overnight camps off the road. Most of the really good ones will be listed as Places on our maps with the green tent symbols as already mentioned so that's a good place to start.

Hello Cruiser, If I was heading to Broome from Norseman in January I would head up to Coolgardie and then West until I hit the coast ie Perth then follow the coast all the way up to Broome.
Closer to the coast and a bit cooler. If we're having a cool spell then it won't matter.
