Nullabor Crossing

I too live in Mandurah and did the trip last year. Best fuel prices are usually Carabin east of Merredin, the servo in main street Norseman, Mundrabilla or Eucla usually same price and Nundroo. Plenty of good O/night camp spots as well.

When we crossed E-W a few years ago we got a sheet from the tourist info centre that had discount vouchers for various places. We found that even with the vouchers, these were the most expensive for fuel. Norseman, Mundrabilla and Ceduna were good - look for SAFF outlets.
To work out where we stayed with only travelling in daylight I had sunrise and sunset times from http://www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/astro/sunrise.jsp
We are only an hour from Port Fairy and were heading home with purpose. Daily moves Perth, Norseman, Nullarbor, Adelaide, Hamilton. Only time after sunset was into Adelaide - big day. All big days with 4 kids on board.

Hi mhquay,
Just reading replies to your thread and noticed you mentioned using Fraser Range as stop over. We came across the Nullarbor from East to West a few days ago and Fraser Range is closed (and for sale I think) so you will have to find an alternative.

If you dont want to free camp, all the road houses seem to have caravan and camping grounds and they are spaced a couple of hundred kms apart. Not sure how busy they are as we didnt use them.

We free camped - at a couple of rest areas on the road with no facilities and just found places a bit off the road. Plenty of suitable areas and many of the WA ones seem to have great facilities. Do you have Camps 5? Well worth the money spent and available from EO shop.

You can read my blog for more information as I am writing a travel journal.

Regards,
Heather

If Fraser Range is closed about 60ks further on is Harms Lake, stayed there last year.

Hi Phil.
Just done the trip 3 weeks ago still over SA at the moment. We filled at the Shell in Norseman for 123.5 he had no gas. Then went to Caltex in main street for gas 79.9. His diesel was 123.9 so should of done both here. Got piece of paper off Shell and he only recommended Mundrabilla and Nundroo he said they were 20cent cheaper but they were only 5cents. We had long range tanks and only filled at Norseman and Mundrabilla but I was told that the Eucla not the Border Village is cheaper. Ceduna had a Coles garage and we only paid 114.9 with our docket.

This site should tell all unbtil the SA border

Fill up in either Coolgardie or norseman but steer clear of any thing between norseman and ceduna uo to 40 cents dearer i travelled back to perth two weeks ago, after you get to Ceduna prices seemed to be a bit more regular on the S.A. side of the border the last roadhouse on the right hand side of Coolgardie was probably the cheapest fuel this side of Adelaide Good luck
