May I ask if the Great Northern Highway is sealed from Perth to Port Headland please?

You can also go via Kalgoorlie as well

Thanks Alan,  the run up through Kalgoorlie what is the actual route? do you need to turn off at Leinster and meet up with the Great Northern?

Turn off at Leinster to go to Mount Magnet to stay with the black stuff.

No drama's with fuel except you will need to stop at Road House about halfway between Newman and Port Hedland

Excellent Alan, thank you very much

I've done that run at least three times each way on the bike, I showed my usual fuel stops on the map, but I still took at least an extra 10 litres (usually 20) because of towing the trailer.

I did manage one run from Newman to Port Hedland before I had the fuel light as it's mainly downhill but I did have spare fuel just in case.
You should be able to run from Meekatharra to Newman on one tank, mine used to but I showed Kumarina as most bikes need to stop there or they won't make it.

Great, always carry spare fuel on my trips, might never need it but it is just there in case. appreciate you putting in your fuel stops, that helps.
