Information on X-country trip (Driving)

Hi all,

I'm currently started planning a trip starting from Brisbane, Qld out to Broome, WA in search of that ever elusive first job!

My current plan takes me via the following route:

Day 1
Brisbane - Tyrconnel (Fuel Stop)
Tyrconnel - Longreach (Fuel & Overnight)

Day 2
Longreach - Cloncurry (Fuel Stop)
Cloncurry - Barkly Roadhouse (Fuel & Overnight)

Day 3
Barkly Roadhouse - Dunmarra Roadhouse (Fuel Stop)
Dunmarra Roadhouse - Kununurra (Fuel & Overnight)

Day 4
Kununurra - Halls Creek (Fuel Stop)
Halls Creek - Derby (Fuel & Overnight Stop)

Day 5
Derby - Broome (Stop)



With the overnight stops i'm looking for some information and opinions on places to stay over night, not too worried about rooms, so i'm happy to camp if necessary or to save a few bucks! I'm also wondering about fuel prices out in those places, i've done some research on the net on average prices and such, but i'd like some extra info to compare to and get a good idea so i can plan out a bit better!! Any tips, info, etc... that could help in regards to fuel, accom and possibly jobs along the way would be much appreciated!! Thanks.
