Gentle way back to WA

when are you planning on leaving and length of trip?

Could try:-
Bowen, Mackay, Emerald, Roma, St George, Cunnamulla, Bourke, Cobar,Broken Hill, Port Augusta, Perth.

This is bitumen all the way and fairly flat for towing. You don't mention time of year but who can tell the weather in regards to heat. Crossed Nullabor Christmas 2006 and drove through showers and very cool weather both ways. Can never tell the weather.

Did Whitsundays to Perth last year.

Whitsundays, Rockhampton, Goondawindi, Narrabri, Coonabarabran, Cobar, Broken Hill, Peterborough, Port Agusta, Norseman, Esperance, Albany, Perth.

No gravel/dirt, we were in an XR8 ute which really does not have much ground clearance and runs low profile tyres on 18 inch rims.

Only place to watch for hills etc are Rockhampton to Dululu it's just a long uphill climb but not steep. Isla Gorge near Theodore, steep climb. Near Coonabarabran.

Cheers
