Second Time across the nullabor


Having just crossed the nullabor for my second time some observations

I found all camp sites much cleaner than last time (about 2 years ago) so I think there has been a big clean up and perhaps people are becoming more considerate of their actions

LPG was very hard to get and when you could was around $1.26 a litre

Quite a few servos didn't have it and one said they hadn't had a delivery in 2 weeks

Petrol and diesel all around the mid $1.90's

If relying on LPG you wouldn't make it across at the moment

The last time we crossed was in 2009 so this may give a comparison we used LPG all the way and had no issues with supply, Caiguna $1.06 cpl, Balladonia $1.00 cpl Madura pass $1.06 cpl & Nullabour $1.12 cpl and Ceduna $0.71,
Always check wind direction and LPG availability at tourist info centers prior to leaving either side of Nullabour.

Hi Snapper, did you cross from West to east or vice versa. Did you encounter wind issues?

Regards, Bravehearts.

East to West and yes had a slight head wind all the way
At Kalgoorlie at the moment and LPG here is $1.02
Saw in Perth advertising it at 65c per litre
Somebody is making a killing
