W.A. here we come.

Be careful of animals after dark, and in the daytime in places. Be prepared for random license checks around Eucla, they've never missed me yet :) Fruit Fly inspectors can be a pain.....
But most importantly........
Take it easy and "enjoy the view".

I might spot you around the Esperance aria, will be down that way from around 29th sep to 4th October.
Might be a bit late, but will keep a look out.

I have a Green and Grey Explorer with the normal bit’s hanging off it; The UHF is normally on Ch40 when driving in the Bush

Cheers.

Call in at the head of the bight Whale watching before Nullarbor

3 weeks ago there were around 10-15 whales in the water

$10.00 but worth it

The Ceduna Oyster bar next to the quarantine checkpoint. $6 per dozen for the 2nd best oysters (Coffin Bay are the best)

Try to plan to stay at Fraser RAnge station (100km east of Norseman) I heard lots about it a few months ago, but i never get to stay there so i am interest in hearing first hand.

Cheapest fuel on the NUllabour is Mundrabilla follwed by Eucla.

If you get a choice between Eucla & Bordervillage, pick Eucla. Quality is very similar but Eucla is more realistically priced.

There is lots of places to pull of the highway to camp.

If you got 4 weeks try to take your time on the NUllabour and stop and enjoy the places. WE also have to rush accross and have always wanted to take our time and go into the caves, coast areas.

enjoy your trip.

G'day there,
it's not just fruit fly ! When you go through the quarantine station at Eucla they will be looking for any fresh fruit or vegetables, any honey, any soil, any plants or any second hand fruit boxes. You can cook up your vegies etc. Make sure you use all of these before you get to Eucla as they can all carry pests and diseases that can damage the environment in WA. If you make sure your car is fairly free of soil and grass etc that helps too. You'll be travelling through one of the most ecologically diverse and beautiful areas of the world. Enjoy !

You might want to try western australia quarantine and Dundas 4WD on google for more tips. The WA Tourism Commision website is really good, as are the many brouchures you can get once you get into WA. There's too much good stuff down there to begin to talk about it !

Have a ball !

Don't miss the tree top walk in Wapole(west of Albany round the coast). Before you get to Albany there is Two People Bay. Go up the lookout in Albany then the Gap, Frenchmans Bay and Whaling Station. The Stirling and Prongerup Ranges should be still good for wild flowers.
Hey we took 3 weeks from Norsman to Ceduna last year but then we are relying on people working and paying their taxes. Not quite I am self funded.
If you like to give me a bit of an idea what you like to see, tourtisty or nature, coast or inland, how long a days you want, if you like walking and that sort of stuff I give you a bit more of an idea so not to waste too much time while you are here.
After about 40 exchange students from all over we have touristed the SW WA a fair bit.
Hope that is of some help.

You do know Mac,,,,that once you get over here to the Land Of The Great Sticker God,,,,,,you'll never want to return to the Eastern Dark.....:)lol.

meow.

Stop off and see the the blacksmith in york , he's a'ways up for a yarn .

Go and have a look at the Cliff views at many park areas before Eucla, don't get too close to the edge,the overhangs could break off and down you go 80 meters into the water....or a rock .good camping areas though,watch out for many oversize loads around the Ravensthorpe area going to the new mine.I'm sure you will enjoy the West and the Jarrah Forests and Denmark is a lovely little town.

Doug

Looks like we'd better inform the Border Police, Customs, Quarantine etc. LOL. Have a good trip.

Mac,

You should have a good time here it's a great place, plus there will be lots of room as most of us are heading East in the next week or so to watch the Eagles take the grand final :-)

It's a damn shame about those Victorian clubs :-))
