Hi Paul there are two ways to come from Melbourne to perth. You can go
the coastal rd or come through the Barosa Valley and follow the murray
river. Both ways you end up at Port Augusta to cross the Nulabour to
WA.
I have done both ways but it is a lot longer on the great coast rd.
The other way is shorter and you go through Renmark. I have done this
trip in two days.
Regards Don

I think it is a good idea but I still have to talk Robin into it.
I think I will be bored on the train with nothing to do :)

Are there too may large towns on A8?
