Perth (0000 kms) This is home! June was born in Western Australia and I arrived here in 1968 from Victoria. Perth is a wonderful city. It is the most isolated capital city in the world but is not lacking in any facilities. A temperate climate combined with clean beaches, clear air and a relaxed lifestyle make it enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.

Northam (0098 kms) The beginning of the wheatbelt area of Western Australia. Northam is famous for the Avon River and the Annual Avon Descent, a white water race for canoes, kayaks, and motor boats, from Northam to Perth. It is also the home of the famous Northam white swans, the only white swans in Western Australia. Southern Cross (0371 kms) The eastern edge of the wheatbelt and the start of the goldfields. The Palace Hotel is one of the original hotels which has been recently restored; it's worth a look.
Coolgardie (0558 kms) The site of Western Australia's first gold discovery, which caused the biggest goldrush in Australia's history. There is a lot of history to be found throughout the town, with many of the original sites marked with plaques and pictures.
Norseman (0726 kms) The beginning of the Eyre Highway and the last town in Western Australia. Norseman is also part of the goldfields region. This is also a good place to stop for a short break and refuel.
Merredin (0260 kms) The largest town in the central wheatbelt. A good place to stop to stretch your legs , have a drink or snack, and refuel the car.
Kalgoorlie (0597 kms) The centre of the richest goldfields in the world, we usually make Kalgoorlie our first overnight stop.This makes our first day's travel quite short so we are able to have a good look around. There are numerous attractions in Kalgoorlie, both historical and related to gold mining. You can see many of them at this link.
WARNING! even though the Highway is sealed all the way, and there are a number of good roadhouses, it is still very arid, unforgiving country. It is essential to have your vehicle checked before you set out on your journey. Take some spare parts, such as a fan belt, radiator hoses and points, and carry some water. The roadhouses along the way carry only a very limited amount of spares (mainly tyres and batteries) and the drinking water they have is mainly for their own use and for motel guests.
Balladonia (0917 kms) Balladonia is the first stop on the Eyre Highway. There is a hotel/motel, restaurant/cafe and a petrol station where you can refuel, rest, and purchase food and drink. Balladonia made world news in 1979 when the US Skylab sattelite crashed to Earth nearby.
Caiguna (1099 kms) The highway from Balladonia to Caiguna boasts the world's longest stretch of straight road (146.7 kms). Caiguna also is a roadhouse, motel and service station. It's a popular stopping place for trucks and road trains.
Cocklebiddy (1162 kms) Another popular truck stop, with similar roadhouse facilities. The area around Cocklebiddy is noted for its very deep underground caves.
Madura (1255 kms) The highway until this point has been on top of a plateau. As the road approaches Madura there is a steep descent to the coastal plain. Madura also is a roadhouse and motel complex, and is quite large.
Mundrabilla (1365 kms) Mundrabilla is a smaller roadhouse and motel complex, but provides adequate facilities for the weary traveller.
Eucla (1430 kms) As the highway approaches Eucla it rises from the coastal plain back up to the plateau. Eucla is the largest settlement on the route, with Police, Ambulance, Flying Doctor base, as well as the large hotel/motel,restaurant, caravan park and service station. 
This is the only motel on the Nullarbor which has a swimming pool for its guests. Eucla was the first brick motel constructed on the Eyre Highway. It was established by a fellow Lithuanian, Gediminas (Steve) Patupis. From some distance to the west as you approach Eucla you can see the Wayside Cross (a traditional feature in Lithuania for protection of travellers) which Mr Patupis has built at the top of the plateau. Before leaving the coastal plain and climbing to Eucla it is worth taking a slight detour to look at the sand dunes which are gradually engulfing the original settlement and telegraph station.
This was our second stop on our most recent trip. From some of the units you can actually see the sand dunes and the ocean. The units are large, comfortable, air conditioned, with T.V. Check out the huge whale and kids playground. Meals have always been of a high standard and the beer cold.
