Beginner
The Nullarbor is boring drive as in the straight stretches of road that seem to go forever and for hours... only to get to a corner and freak-out and nearly crash...lol
stop at as many tourist stops as you can and make sure to swap drivers regularly as I did this drive solo when i migrated from sydney 7 years ago and wasnt much fun....
Interestingly when i crossed the Nullarbor it bucketed down solid for 9 hours.... it was so dark and rain was so heavy i had to stop on the shoulder i couldnt see 20 feet in front of me...
solace came in the form of a road train who i managed to get on the radio who told me to tuck in behind him and turn my lights off.....
Hitting a loose cow frightened the bejesus out of me and nearly rolled the truck with blood and guts all over the windscreen lol.
anyway good luck and safe travels...

Patrol God
why not take a scenic route through deserts join a guided trip as part of your trip over so you get to test you and beast in different senarios and no boredom and u see something others don't.

But you're right. I can highly recommend diverting off the highway just past Nullarbor RH and heading north to Cook, then west across to Forrest and Rawlinna (not along the track though) and then along the track to Kalgoorlie. There's some awesome country out there.
Speaking of which.... Where's your trip report and pics?? Hmmmmmm
