Sydney to W.A.


Good day weathered travellers, from a newbie.I bought my used RV only a few months ago & have taken it for a run to outback QLD on work. I mainly bought it to realise my dream of crossing the desert & seeing all hose beautiful fishing spots in WA. Does anyone have any tips on what are the MUST see places: convenient safe fishing places from my chair, historical towns, peaceful scenery, safety tips etc.Have done the N.T so have driven on Stuart Hwy but wouldnt like to return again from Ceduna. Also how bad/good/boring is the Broken Hill way, or should I again go via ocean rd?.Thankful for any tips like a spare battery, more solar panels etc.I only have the 1battery & not sure but not extra solar.Are there free camping spots on the way with some facilities?

Plenty of places to pull over on Nullarbor. I went the coast thought scenery would be better ? There very nice places all up the west coat . Cattle station stays are excellent ., imo just use wikicamps . Why I suggest that over any particular place ?? There WASNT one place we stopped at we didnāt like ! Infact in most places we booked an extra week . Take your time going down some of the access roads to stations , 80 ( or is it 90 ? One is in NZ ) mile beach etc . In our case 40 kph . Depending on your solar and usage etc ?? I found 220 AH just did us fine with 400 watt solar . Keep in mind itās not always or anywhere near 80% efficient due to weather conditions . The rangers are onto you if staying in national parks . I found stopping over night away from parking areas and getting up early so it didnāt look like we camped overnight was the go . Keeping area CLEAN even if it wasnt ours !! Keeps the Ranger happy !! Stop after 5 pm and up before 7am . Or try to plan your not in National Park area ? The back packers donāt help us grey nomads at times . Take your time enjoy .,
