This will be a big hitch, no matter where you're headed. It can take 3-4 days to get to [[Broome]] in a car. Trucks will probably be a better option. Whether your first stop is [[Geraldton]] on the coast, or Meekatharra (I hope it isn't!) on the inland highway, it will be at least 5-6 hours, possibly more, before you arrive anywhere. Take plenty of supplies (food, water...etc) and be prepared to start out early, or not at all.

Bear in mind that anywhere north of Perth is getting into desert country. Take plenty of water and know where you're going!
