Just got back from 3 one way trips over there I would go Coolgardie or Kalgoorlie (about 600k or a bit undr 7 hours) over Norseman Not much to see there, and both Kal and Coolgardie have tours ext. for tourist. Day 2 is always the bigger day because you have to push on or you end up in the middle of no ware. Madura pass has fair price accommodation (a little old but clean) and the Food at the pub / motel/park / fuel stop is good, Fuel @ 170 a litre for diesel is a bit rip but ya get that. Then head for port Augusta A few good places to stay there, then your nearly done . There is a bit to see along the way so if you see a sign that say Bla Bla 10ks this way I would go for a look as there is a hell of a lot of nothing out there for hours and hours,even form the side of the road you can see some of The great Aussie bite, it's a good 2700 ks so at best it will be a 28 to 30 hours of driving. Here"s just what I could see taking the truck as close as allowed down the side roads
P.S Dawn 0430/0700 is worst for critters running across the road at you. Dusk is not as bad but in a car I would plan to be stopped buy then
