Driving to NATs from NSW

[Geoff_K]

This is my and Charlie's plan for our trips to Perth. We are starting together in Sydney, diverging at Young, joining up again at Hay through to Norseman, then splitting through to Woodman Point.
We would be happy to travel with others along the way.
The attached image is my plan along with a Nullabor fuel stops chart that I picked up from a Grey Nomad site.

 Hi Geoff,
 
 A couple of points from personal experience -

 Fuel at Penong and Nundroo is the last of the cheaper stuff heading west. Last time we drove through there was fuel at Yalata again which has been closed for years, it was cheap as well but don't take that as gospel as I have only seen it the one time. We normally fuel at Penong then Nullarbor , then Border Village.
 Overnight at Mundrabilla then stop at Cocklebiddy then Caiguna for fuel and the obligatory photo at the sign then Balladonia then Norseman.
 

 Madura Pass roadhouse is  a dump , try and avoid if possible, we have stayed there 3 times over the last 20 years and every time the rooms are filthy, dirty sheets etc. Never again.

 Mundrabilla roadhouse is a good stop , I had one of the best steak dinners I have ever had there last year , the station processes its own meat 

 I see you are looking at Wave Rock , the straight road from Norseman to Hyden is dirt, good dirt but dirt nevertheless. If you are looking to go to Wave Rock/Hyden best to go the long way if you value your paintwork. You can head North or South from Norseman to get there , much of  a muchness.

Thanks for the advice, we will evaluate as we go along: depending on the weather; where we elect to stop; etc.
I have 'some idea' about the motels, cabins and truck stops along the Nullabor, as we traveled 'west to east' last year in our Motorhome.
On fuel prices, I might have to use up emergency jerrycans to bypass the really expensive outlets.
