A few months ago I was transferred from my Perth office to Sydney office due to a couple of projects I was involved with. I was given 3~4 months time-frame to decide, pack-up and leave for Sydney. That's when I decided to do the unthinkable. Take a trip of the whole continent via road and explore the great outback.
Initially I planned the Perth/Balladonia/Ceduna/Port Augusta/Broken Hill/Nyngan/Sydney route but later I decided to do Perth/Norseman/Eucla/Port Augusta/Narrandera/Sydney instead, which will be the focus of this thread. There is one thing, don't expect too many pictures whatever we shot, look similar due to long straight roads
I'll be adding in the stopovers, sleepovers, costs (irrelevant for some though), time and distances in each section.
I've done a break-up of every section with approx distance (as per google maps) but the time is my own estimate, not as predicted in google maps since I was towing along 400-500kg too and was driving cautiously.
The cost of fuel fluctuate too as it ranged from 94.8 cents upwards to 169 cents a litre in some places.
To Kick Start the thread.. yes I did Australia's longest straight road...
