I'm planning on driving the Plain next year in my MX5, so I'd appreciate some information too.

Yes ,done the east-west drive .There are plenty of stops between Norseman and Ceduna (1220km ) .Eucla would be the best /largest,but there are good facilities all along the highway.

Yes, we've done it (with 7 month old baby and two dogs) - Brisbane to Perth. My husband did it by himself last time with one dog and I took three kids on the plane.

Yes, I've done it four times. It's not as hard as it looks. Just be sensible about taking rest breaks and watch out for road trains. Port Augusta, Kimba, Eucla and Ceduna are good places to stop along the way.
