The 24 hour BP's that I know of are:

Port Hedland - Leehey St
Eight Mile Beach - North West Coastal Hwy
Karratha - Karratha Industrial Estate
Meekatharra - Main Street
Geraldton - Shenton Street
Koorda Depot - Railway St
Wongan Hills - Caringili West Road

I'm not sure about any other petrol stations but as far as BP's go, there's not much else between there.
I'm sure there's a few Caltex's or small independent ones in between

That is what is listed on fuel watch but for some reason port headland never comes up.

I dont know witch way your going cost or via Newman, but these might help too. The site between Gero and Broom are mostly BP, Shell, a few Gull befor Canarvon and one or 2 independents in there too. There is 24hr fuel in Karratha at Caltex witch is in town and I "think" the truck stop in Hedland is 24 hrs also.

Put in your area, or the suburbs you want to see, and they are there.

I don't know if you can select it to only show 24hr stuff though. Never looked that much into it.

there is only 2 servo's which are 24hrs between karratha and broome

the 1 you will need is a bp site but i cant remember the name of it.

Just to be safe try and time it so you are driving through newman etc before 10pm

Diving across from Queensland for the Nullabor part I had 5 20L jerry cans with 98 fuel for it. Did Ceduna-Perth in one trip, 20hrs & about 2000km's, it was hard but made it :)

It would be a good idea to grab a spare can or two just in case you need fuel & there isn't an open servo...also be a bit cheaper to fill them up closer to Perth ;)

what car you using? we used to do the trip about 4-5 times a year up and back in the old ladys EL falcon we used to do perth to karatha in one trip, servos we used to use were full tanks obviously leaving perth, then refuel at S-Bend caravan park just south of geraldton, next fill up was at carnarvon the one just as u entered town may have been a ampol been a while so a bit vague, then after that was nanutarra roadhouse, then that would take us through to near on karratha/fortesque roadhouse (just south of karratha) of if you can make it theres the truck stop in karratha itsself near the industrial area, after that not sure...

wow organised
we drove from melbourne to perth with just a 20 litre jerry can
made it with no problems, only had to use the jerry can once and ceduna had 24 hour servo's :)
did the whole trip in about 36 hours with 2 of us

the 24 hour servo in karratha is actually a caltex and it runs off the main drag through the town itself not the main highway..

if your comming up the coastal route anyway

if your going inland, headlands your next best bet for 24, but if you leave perth first thing in the morn you should hit headland by early evening anyway

if you feel like stopping off for a bit, pull into whim creek dude, its where i work, no servo, but i can buy you discount piss!

win!

Kind of off topic but sort of related... how many people here have crossed the Nullarbor? I'm planning to do it next year, want to fly over there, buy a car (somehow they're cheaper a few K over there than here, plus lower stamp duty = win), then just drive it over here. Realistically how long will it take to say drive form Melbourne to Perth? So far the only long(ish) trip I've done was Perth to Esperance in one go and wasn't too bad...

There is Ampol and a shell both next to each other on the entrance into Canarvon

Nanutarra will be $2.50L they know they can charge what ever, There is a Petrol station a hour and a 1/2 out of Canarvon, if it is open fuel up there then Fortesque is normally a fair bit nicer than nanutarra.

Karratha Shell rd house is just over the other side of the railway line. but to get to the Caltex 24hr fuel take the left sealed road next to the rail way line, then a right at Dampia Hwy. that is quicker than going all the way though to the main rd into town,

dude if you read up a few posts i've already answered that question
that was with two of us doing driving duties and there was a pretty decent average speed on the highways
we were there for the exact same reason, bought a cheap car and drove it back

Ben's obviosly gone now, but does anyone know if he took the inland or coastal road? he'd save himself about 300km's by going inland. shitloads better highway too.

Coastal road is fucked.
