    Do you know what route you'll take after Norseman? You can go the coast road to Perth (and visit Esperance, and all the lovely costal towns on the way), or go through Kalgoorlie. It's less pretty, but on the plus side, I live in Kalgoorlie! There's less interesting places to stop along the way, but there's a few cool things to see in Kal (super pit, mining hall of fame, museum).

    Thanks for the idea Smiles, I've got my eye on some in the Target Toy Sale catalogue . If we are coming your way, I'll definitely let you know! You might not want to drive to WA after you get my feedback though .

    Thanks for the info Entreat! I'll let DH know so we can look at it on the map as we work out where we're going

    Thanks OG . Yep, we'll try and work around naps so it goes quicker for them. DD sometimes fights sleep though and tends to scream instead . It will be interesting LOL! I like the treasure hunt idea. I'd love to do some meet ups along the way, but it might be tricky because we'll be playing it by ear a bit. We won't plan definite stops because it will depend on how the kids are coping as to how long we drive for at a time.
