Yo guys
I am doing a circuit starting Perth in October this year - is there any resource that would tell me where I can get water (wells, tanks, muddy puddles etc.) along the way, and perhaps detail likely quality. I'll be mostly on Highway 1 but may venture inland for a few days if water is available. I'll be heading west from Cairns just after the rainy season (April -May) so maybe water will be more available then? I've heard about tanks on the Nullabor but what about Cairns - Darwin - Perth? Ideally I'd like to plot all the water points on a map, unless a map is already available with this feature.
What about roadhouses - how amenable are they to a dirty cyclist asking for 25 litres of the stuff, and am I expected to pay for this, or would I have to buy bottled?
Any advice gratefully received.
