Geelong to Perth road trip. Tips, sights and any other interesting bits welcome.

Well, over the next 2 days i'm packing up, loading up and getting ready to move from Geelong to Perth.

So far I've pretty much planned my days as follows.
Day 1, Geelong to Kimba
Day 2, Kimba to Cocklebiddy
Day 3, Cocklebiddy to Perth.

Works out to be pretty much 1150 - 1250km each day.

Just wondering if any that have done the trip before have got any pointers for me in regards to weather my chosen places to end the days are decent and even what's some good places to stop and things to see along the way? Drive 180 - 200,000km per year but most of it is in a truck.

I'm taking my BA XR6 ute over with my big tandem, and 4wd loaded up and dragging my builders trailer. Going to be dragging a fair load of gear over so i've been right through both vehicles and trailers. Done oil & filters, air filters, fuel filters, spark plugs, coolant, gear box oils, diff oils, new wheel bearings in 4wd, new wheel bearings and brakes in trailers, tyres all spot A1, wheel alignments, wheels balanced, got a spare set of wheels for ute on board and 2 sets for 4wd, hopefully that'll all get me there.

Not looking forward to the fuel bill!

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers
