We plan to travel from Adelaide to Streaky Bay to Esperence WA and then further up the WA coast in early Jan so would appreciate any advice on where to stay along the way particulary Streaky to Esperance.

Are you free camping, using caravan parks or a mix of both, also how many days are looking at to get to Esperance

If you click on "Search" on the dark blue line near the top of this page and when a box comes up type Nullabor into it, it will bring up several threads of good info, this is one of them,
I wouldn't plan on going further north than say Carnarvon and north you are heading into the wet season (humidity/storms/cyclones etc) around January, best to keep south around summer.

You may be interested in my trip from Ceduna to Esperance in 2011 the blog goes on throughout WA along the coastline. John
Most of the roadhouses across the Nullarbor have some sort of caravan facility, where you can get a powered spot, if that is what you need. Obviously, they are not far from the road and so you may get some travel noise in some.
Fraser Range station is a very pleasant caravan park.
There is a quarantine checkpoint at SA/WA border. going west. No fresh fruit, vegs, boxes that have held bananas, honey. They usually do a fairly thorough check.

Eucla is a pleasant place to stop. You can walk down to the old telegraph station, might even have a swim?
Also the Nullarbor Roadhouse is ok, and nearby the Head of Bight is a must in the Whale season.

you can drive down to the telegraph station with a van on, there is a turnaround at the station, also keep your eyes open for the Nullarbor Nymphs

Having done this journey a couple of times one place I would suggest is Fowlers Bay near Nundroo. There is a road runs off the hway towards Fowlers when you come from Ceduna and when leaving taking you back to the hway towards the west. Its a great little spot but if you want te be sure of a site its advisable to ring ahead. Just google fowlers bay and find out more details and go to google earth to look it over. Great jetty and well worth few days stay
