Another cyclist killed doing the Nullarbor crossing between WA and SA. Crossing the Nullarbor is part of almost every Australian cross country tour if not going through the north. I have not cycled the 2000km+ distance but driven it two times. It’s just not safe because there is no shoulder for several hundred kilometres near the WA/SA border and you are sharing the narrow road with road trains more than 50 metres long. The road is also much busier than what you would think. If you are planning a cross country ride, it’s safer to use the northern option through the Kimberley. In a few years the Great Central Road will also be sealed and be third option.
