Sydney to Perth Part 1
Permalink  

Thanks to everyone who gave me some great advice on traveling from Sydney to Perth, I went back to check this numerous times to help me on my journey.

In WA at the moment and making my way to Perth so that will be in part 2 along with the most amazing beaches I have ever seen! 

I had many mishaps along the way, one in particular that will cost me! :/ Lessons learnt but the biggest one is 'if in doubt just DON'T GO IN!!!!!'

Hi Tamsun, you have been to many of the places we like to re-visit every so often - It is surprising how many people go through Kimba and take a photo of the concrete dunny and drive thru, it's a lovely little town. Nullarbor can be a trap for the unwary regarding fuel particularly when going into wind when you are driving a brick with a sail on, normal fuel mileages mean nothing.

 Yes I went through wiki camps to see which ones had the most and best ratings. Haha I recall looking at the $2 price mark just before the Nullabour and I thought there was some error!! lol It just didn't compute in my brain! lol

 Thanks! Yes some really great places to see and visit. I though the next chapter would be smooth sailings and it did start out that way but we have been caught in some severe weather warnings! lol Never a dull moment on the road :D
