Heading to
Perth end of June and we only have 3 weeks. We want to get there as quickly but safely as possible, spend a few days with family and head back. We anticpate 4/5 days to get there, 4 days visiting which will leave us 12 days to get back. We would like to come back, at least some of the way off the black top. We will be towing an off road caravan. Any thoughts or suggestions of a route would be appreciated

An interesting diversion off the highway in SA is via the
Gawler Ranges which is on all reasonable to good gravel roads.
On Eyre Highway turn northeast between
Wirrulla and Poochera, (approx 20km east of
Wirrulla) after 67 km turn east at
Barber Hill and you have about 200km to
Iron Knob.
I recall at least one
farm-stay along the way and plenty
places to free-
camp if required.
Watch the weather, like all back roads, rain will make them interesting if not impassable.

If you haven't already done the road, Main Nth Road from Pt
Augusta to
Adelaide via
Wilmington,
Clare etc is FAR better and prettier to travel than Pt Wakefield Rd, much more interesting I reckon.
