Round trip of Aust in the Commo

My only advise is to try and avoid driving the Nullabour at night.

Whats the go with the amount of wind on the Nullabor heading from melbourne to WA? I heard somebody talking saying that because of the way the wind goes you're forcing your way against the wind so you chew up more fuel and if you're towing a caravan then it adds extra drag to the mix?

I wouldnt put much faith in those little bonnet deflectors. Mine broke on the way from Alice to darwin last week & it done more damage than a little rock would.
A good tip on any long drive up here is to keep an eye on the roadkill. If there is a bit on the road generally the live ones arent far behind. Also the big wedgetail eagles that are feeding on the dead ones take a long time to get airborne when they are full. Having one of these come through the window is worse than denting a bonnet on a roo.
Also check the fuel prices before you leave & plan your fuelstops to the better prices. Some of the Roadhouses are up to 30c a litre different from the nearby towns.
