Madura - Fast Facts

Madura
One of the key road stops on the road across the Nullarbor
Madura is located 1255 km from Perth and 529 km from Norseman. Another roadhouse on the seemingly endless drive across the Nullarbor Plain it offers 24 hour fuel, a motel and caravan park, a restaurant and bar, and the luxury of desalinated fresh water.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Madura is the pass to the west of the town. People travelling from Western Australia who have, for hundreds of kilometres, believed that they were on a totally flat plain, suddenly find themselves descending quite steeply onto the coastal plain.

Ask at the roadhouse for directions to the Mullamullang Caves which lie to the northwest of the settlement and which are reputedly larger than the caves at Cocklebiddy. Ask also for directions to the old Madura Homestead which lie to the west of the roadhouse on an old dirt road.
