Hi Brad,
Camps Australia will give you a comprehensive listing. Available from the EO
shop. See also the article in the box beside your post.
Cheers,

Hi Brad,
There are quite a few really good ones once you get past
Southern Cross.
Just look for the signs, most have
toilets and areas where you can have a fire.
Plenty of room if you like your privacy.
Cheers,
Dennis

Brad,
We usually stay at a place called Koorarawalee
rest area. About 60 - 70 kms east of
Southern Cross
s31 16.080
e120 01.000
Very large area with several fireplaces. Good clean drop
toilets well maintained
Not much wood laying around, so if you want a roaring fire you better take your own wood or bring a chain saw

Brad how far do you intend to drive before stopping for the night?
There are a number of spots not too far of the road west of Kal where you can stop. Karalee Rocks just east of Sth Cross is not a bad stopping point either.

Hi Brad
We use the Jan Holland Priceless camps and
rest area books purchased from ExplorOz bookshop, and chose a spot
well off the road, however we found the
toilet had been removed. It was alongside a large
granite outcrop with plenty of room to spread out from other campers, and on a loop of old road around 1 km from Highway for a quiet night. It is on the south side of the highway 110 kms east of
Southern Cross. We stopped there in 2007.

Boondi is another spot that has a
toilet, fire rings, tables and a
dam. it is 80km west of
Coolgardie and signposted on highway.
If the
campsite Motherhen mentioned is the same as the one I'm thinking of it is an old MRD spot that is being cleaned up and removed so there is no facilities there anymore.
