Driving from Sydney to Perth

I would recommend some time on the Eyre Peninsula, especially Port Lincoln, Coffin Bay and Streaky Bay in SA. In WA I loved Esperance, Albany and Margaret River. I don't even like wine much, but when in Rome. We had a ball.
There a heaps of great spots, just depends on your taste.

Best route- are you wanting a quick trip or do you want to go through the Riverland and Adelaide? If you do not want to dally in eastern SA then go via Dubbo and Broken Hill. You can then slow down at Peterborough or some time after that and spend most of your time over in the western half of your journey.

Camping grounds. I would not worry too much about these. I would be more inclined to wing it. This gives you more flexibility. Get yourself a copy of Camps Australia Wide and plan a few days ahead. However if you are stopping at Ceduna I would suggest staying out at Shelly Beach caravan park and not in town. To get to it, take this route..

Things to see - I agree with diverting through the Eyre Peninsula if you have the time. If not then a quick trip through Fowlers Bay is a good diversion (in and out on separate roads.) You will be too late for whales but a trip out to a few of the ocean lookouts between Nullarbor Homestead and the border is worthwhile.

Best value fuel across the Bight - fill at Penong and Mundrabilla and only splash and dash at the others to carry you through. At Norseman, go into town and fill at the Shell near the info centre.

We are taking about 4-5 days to get there and 4-5 days backand staying with family when we get to perth.

I will check the websites out and go from there....

I have heard about that golf course, wow it is big, I would love to have a hit but will have to do this on the next trip.

Thanks again guys.
