Hi Chris,
We are currently in the middle of a trip similar to the one you describe.
I would reccommend:-
Victoria:-
Otway
Lighthouse
Otway treetop walk
12 Apostles helicopter ride
Portland
Camping at Swan Lake, (in between
Portland and Mt Gambier)
South Australia:-
Barossa and
Clare Valleys
AdelaideMannum -
free camping here!!!
Port Broughton for crabbing
Camping at Fitzgerlad Bay (near
Whyalla) You can
camp on the water and look out over the Spencer Gulf and you can see the
Flinders Ranges
The
Streaky Bay Hotel Motel is a great pub
we are in
ceduna at the moment so I cannot reccommend anything in WA. Have a great trip!!!
Andy and Mandy

Hi. There have been a few posts on crossing the Nullarbor recently. I'd suggest you take your time and take as many side trips as possible. Also
check out some of the
TREKS on the site as
well as the
PLACES. It's all good, you wont be bored, and there will still be plenty to do on the return trip.
