Normally you would only drive along the Eyre highway and across the Nullarbor plain, to get from Western Australia to South Australia or vise versa.  However there are a few things worth seeing along the way.  There are caves near Cockelbiddy and Eucla (For the experienced cavers), impressive high cliffs near Nullabor on the SA side, old telegraph stations, ruins and an interesting history.  It's a long drive but a bit of an adventure.

There are road houses and small towns along the way which can provide food, accommodation and fuel, and there are numerous places to stop and camp.  The fuel, like everything else is relatively expensive.  The longest distance between fuel is about 200km.  Even though the highway is remote, there are still quite a number of cars and trucks using it.  You would probably see another vehicle at least every half hour.  You should obviously service and prepare your vehicle well before you leave, as there is not much help available and the cost of towing would be high.  Some people have been better off leaving their old cars on the side of the road and hitching a ride out!  Beware of driving at night due to the risk of hitting wildlife.

If you're going to spend the time and effort to make the trip, it is worth stopping and seeing all you can along the way.  Driving a couple of hundred kilometers extra on 1000 or 2000 km trip is worth the effort.

Highlights for me were:

- Getting to the other side.

- Driving along Australia's longest straight road.

- The dunes and telegraph station at Eucla.

- Learning about the local history and stories.

Negatives.

- The long drives can get to you, but it is all part of the experience.

- Cost of fuel.
