In my view the journey over the Nullarbor starts at Port Augusta. I know that
strictly speaking it is regarded as Ceduna however when you leave Port Augusta
the sign says PERTH 1900 Kms! I forget the exact amount but it does tend to get
your attention as you ride past!
The run to Ceduna is no problem at all as there are plenty of stops however
accommodation does start to thin out a little as you head out further West. Once
clear of Ceduna you are heading out into the real crossing.

Never pass a fuel stop without topping up fuel and your water supply. Nundroo
is a spot where it is advised to keep one person watching the bike….the locals
can get a little more interested than I would like.
The fuel is also Ethanol 10% there however a top up will be no worry if you have
filled up to Penong.

Yalata is closed however the run from Nundroo to Nullarbor Roadhouse is well
within range.

The runs between the roadhouses are well within the range of bikes and once
again the information is on the website. If in doubt carry some extra fuel (say
5lt) in a specified fuel container.

A lot of people ask me about the
trans-continental trucks and
road trains. These guys are very
likely the best drivers in the
country and if you work with
them they will look after you. If
you are towing a trailer your
maximum speed is 100 kph and
while you may be rolling along at
100 kph sure in the knowledge
that you are doing 100 kph how
do you know that you are only doing 96 kph?
