My 76 year old father wants to drive solo across the Nullarbor (Perth to
Adelaide).

Is it 4 lanes all the way across? I'm a bit concerned about the road
trains coming in the opposite direction.

I'm a bit concerned generally about the idea, due to his driving skills
not being as good as they were. But he his determined to do it.

(He is driving in a 8 year old Nissan Pathfinder)

Get advice from someone who's done it. Frequent rest/exercise stops.
My dear sister does long drives and swears by audio books to keep
awake. Relevant medications. Quality polarizing sunnies.

Don't worry. His Pathfinder will have a broken timing chain before he
hits Glen Forrest.
