At dawn the minivan pulls away from the Beaufort Street stop and the city blurs into jarrah forests, granite outcrops and a coastline that keeps changing its blue.
This 10-day Perth to Adelaide camping tour stitches together two coasts and the Nullarbor’s stark interior: Wave Rock’s rounded granite, the botanical richness of Fitzgerald River National Park, the turquoise bays of Cape Le Grand with Lucky Bay’s sunbathing kangaroos, then the flat, open sweep of the Nullarbor and the cliffed edge of the Great Australian Bight. Along the Eyre Peninsula you’ll encounter wild sea lions, bottlenose dolphins and a living koala population at Mikkira Station. Guides weave local Barngarla and Yalata stories into stops, linking millennia-old cultural knowledge with frontier-era exploration and the construction of the Dingo Fence.
Expect a mix of active days—2–12 km hikes on uneven ground, a steep scramble to Frenchman Peak, and optional snorkel swims with sea lions—and long driving legs where the landscape is the main attraction. Nights are largely swag camping under very dark skies; most sites have basic toilets and showers, but the Nullarbor bush camp has none.
Practical short list: limit bags to a 15 kg soft bag, bring a warm sleeping bag and pillow for the swag, carry at least 2–3 L of water for day hikes, and plan sun protection and layered clothing. Book the Baird Bay sea lion cruise in advance and check fire season rules for Mikkira Station. With good preparation, this trip balances wildlife encounters, coastal hikes and authentic outback nights.
moderate.
10 days.
Moderate fitness required: expect multiple 2–12 km walks over uneven ground, some steep sections and long travel days.
One soft travel bag or backpack up to 15 kg plus one small piece of hand luggage, due to limited trailer space.
Most camps have basic toilets and some with showers; the Nullarbor night is a true bush camp with no facilities.
No—it's an optional outsourced 3-hour cruise operated by Baird Bay Eco Tours and must be booked in advance.
A moderate level: days include walks of 2–12 km over uneven terrain and a steep ascent to Frenchman Peak; you should be comfortable with sustained hiking.
The route crosses lands inhabited by Barngarla and other Aboriginal peoples for tens of thousands of years; colonial exploration, pastoralism and the Dingo Fence later reshaped the region.
The tour supports local conservation through volunteering at Mikkira Station and encourages low-impact camping practices—respect wildlife viewing rules and avoid feeding animals.
