Nullarbor Fuel Stops – Complete Guide

This guide covers every fuel station across the Nullarbor. The Nullarbor Plains run 1,201 kilometres from Ceduna in South Australia to Norseman in Western Australia. Nullarbor Plains fuel stops are limited and distances between them are long.

Why Planning Nullarbor Fuel Stops Is Important

The Nullarbor has some major gaps between fuel stops with some sections being 190 kilometres between Nullarbor petrol stations. Services can close without notice and weather can affect road conditions.

The Nullarbor Plain is frequently affected by prevailing westerly and south-westerly winds that create challenging conditions for east-to-west travel due to persistent headwinds. These winds often variable in strength and direction, are most prevalent between August and March and will contribute to increased fuel consumption.
