Hi there everyone. We live in
Tamworth, NSW, and are planning a trip to
Perth. We have vaguely decided to go down the South Coast of NSW, do a Great Ocean Road trip, then through SA and across the Nullabor. We anticipate this trip will go for 6-8 weeks, then we plan to live and work in the
Perth region for at least 6 months. We were just looking for some suggestions about unmissable stops along the way. Are there any reccommendations as to
places we need to see and things we need to do. We will be staying in Campsites the majority of the trip, we are going with 4 other people in a total of 3 vehicles. So any advice or ideas from other travellers who have done the trip before would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try and avoid staying in town in
Ceduna. Very pretty town but not after dark. (I'm sticking my neck out I know).
Do the
head of the bight whale thing, the bird watching place, avoid Nullabour roadhouse fuel stops, do see the old telegraph station at
Eucla (what's left)...there's so much more to do and see along that way, depending upon your interests. Take the time to have a yarn with the locals wherever you stop, and enjoy yourselves.

Nothing wrong with
Ceduna, just pick your van park carefully and don't use the ones in town. Try
Shelley Beach - it's too far out of town for the rascles to walk to. Great park too.

"Nothing wrong with Ceduna"....
well the after dark dog patrols don't exactly spell welcome.
But as a town, it's Ok.
