Travel, Free park and Rest areas Perth,WA to Bendigo,Victoria
73This 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 road side 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.

A word of Caution
Be prepared for emergencies when traveling long distances - In case of breakdowns- especially when crossing the nullabor
- Please always take extra water in the car with you.
- Have a blanket in case - as some places get very cold at night even in the middle of summer
- Pack a little extra food. Just in case of emergencies
- Always carry a first aid kit in your glovebox
- Be wary of wild life on roads - like kangaroos, cattle, wombats
- Carry extra fan belts and radiator hoses especially in summer its a long long way to the next garage for mechanical repairs

Steve, Common out here you dont know what you are missing thats for sure. Now you got the places to stop. hahah
When I read your suburb hubs, I feel one day I must go
Do not know about the long distances any more.
Tomorrow is still to come.
Mr Marmalade never put off till tomorrow what u can do today.
You know the old saying..... We may not be here tomorrow especially if you are like me showing those little(lots of them) grey hairs. haha
Well said Eileen, no use in postponing things. Cheers. Would love to visit the outback sometimes :)
Cgull No problems you ar more than welcome to come to Australia or oz anytime.
Lets have a Hubbers meet up in OZ. The good news is we will all stay with you Eileen (only joking!). Your Excel table looks fine by the way.
That would be really great fun. Hey what. One problem who pays.. again just joking but....it would be good to catch up with people from all over the place. We are going around australia. And I will be needing cheaper places to park our van any invites......What with the price of fuel now..... Everyone is looking for cheaper options
Eile/en did you think that any of the siltes across the Nullarbor were suitable for campi ng with a tent? ie would it be possible to get pegs in the ground?
lissie, yes no problems, But I would take a decent size gympie hamer and good solid tent pegs (not the really big ones though) and a decent screwdriver to prise them out. Yes ground pretty hard but lots do it no different to Kalgoorlie red dust.
If it rains, camp only on designated rest areas DO NOT GO ONTO THE RED DIRT. AS YOU WILL SINK VERY QUICKLY. AND BECOME BOGGED. JUST WATCH THE GROUND IF WET IT TURNS TO SLUSH QUICKLY. DESIGNATED CAMP SITES WITH TOILETS ARE USUALLY SAFE ON ROADWAYS IN CAMP AREA DONT GO BUSH THOUGH OF THAT AREA IF WET. HAVE A GREAT TRIP LOVE TO HEAR HOW YOU GOING.
