I know that if i'm low on petrol I can get off on Paganoni Rd, Safety Bay Rd, Thomas Road, Forrest Rd, Beeliar Drive, South St, Leach Hwy, Manning Road and Mill Point Road. Its the same with most of the exits on the way down to bunbury.

What happened to the good old days when you would check your oil/water/fuel levels before a 100klm journey. Take responsibility peoples, if you run out of petrol on the freeway, its your own fault!

Pfft, its a rare thing now days that anyone will take any responsibility for anything.

Fortescue road house....VERY forgettable (if you've been there) my bad.......The bridge is cool, especially when you see the tree trunks wedged on top of the concrete supports 30 feet up from the river bed!!

From Onslow township, 210kms, 2hrs 22mins driving

It's nearly 100km from the highway to town.

Heres a better example:

Newman to Karratha via Wittenoom & Millstream total distance 562km

1 roadhouse before the national park (wittenoom turn off) 1 @ Roebourne

Wittenoom - Roebourne 420 km plenty of roo's but no fuel...


Don't let this happen too often!



Are we there yet????

Whats the big deal with no fuel station. Correct me if im wrong but i don't think there is one on the Tonkin Hwy which goes from Byford to up near Karrinyup somewhere.
