Welcome Arthur,

Suggest you buy the Camps Australia Wide book (Camps7) if you don't already have it, it also has Hema maps in it so you won't need to buy a separate map book.  You can buy it online or through book and camping stores.  Google Camps Australia Wide for more info.

As you have limited time, the wildflower circuits (say south/east of Geraldton) around August and the south/west a bit later may suit the time you have over here.   See this link;

Hope you enjoy your time in WA

Vic

Welcome from us too. Hope you don't find those distances too tiring. Try and make a few days of restful staying put too.

If you click on Search on the dark blue line above, they when a box appears type in Nullabor you will find some more info there, not sure if this will work, here is one I had come up, or try it yourself (also for any other subject), click on;
