Travel, Free park and Rest areas Perth,WA to Bendigo,Victoria
This is a free list of all the places to camp or stop overnight in a caravan or tent, while traveling across the Nullabor from Perth, Western Australia - to Bendigo.
The East to West column is for travelers coming from Bendigo to Perth.
Normal Truck bay parks or roadside parking are not included in this.
Due to missing mileage pegs, it could be about half a kilometre out on some of these.
I did this because there is nothing worse than looking for somewhere to park, and before you realise it you are too late. It is not easy to stop when towing a caravan. Several of these are unmarked areas.
