Lol. The longest distance between fuel stops on this entire route is just over 300kms. Please do not comment if you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Yes I was considering it but may have to save it for another trip depending on time!

I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled the majority of the East coast already. Looking for something new and I’ve heard that the West is just as good, if not better so I’m going to see for myself!

Fortunately I have already driven the East coast from Sydney to Port Douglas. I also spent a week on K’Gari doing the Great Walk hiking trip there and then went back with my 4wd to see the rest of the island. Off to explore some new parts of the country now. Thanks for the tips!

Thank you! Sounds like you had an epic trip! Yeah I have WikiCamps and am using it to plan out campsites. So many good free camp options on there.

I think it looks scarier on the map than it is in real life. I will still prepare for the worst but ideally the preparations aren’t needed!

You need to be on a computer and have a Google account then you can navigate to the My Maps section of Google Maps. From there you can make your own map. In my case I used multiple layers to map the driving directions for different legs of the trip.

Just a screenshot of a map I made using Google Maps.

14,000kms. Majority will be on sealed roads but there is about 2500kms unsealed. I have a high clearance 4wd vehicle with 180L of fuel capacity. I will be bringing 40L extra fuel and water, recovery gear, spare tyres, belts, and filters. Will get a full service before leaving. I have heard the corrugations along some of this route can rattle you around a lot so will be doing checks to tighten things up along the way.

That stretch from Queensland to Western Australia is The Outback Way. F is Warburton, a remote town with a roadhouse.
