About Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways

The Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways feature three self- drive trails which traverse the red heart of Western Australia. Each trail is complemented by a series of roadside, interpretative signage, which opens your eyes to the wonders of this ancient landscape.

You may be driving by an area that was once home to a prehistoric seabed – fossils in the rocks bear tribute to this other age. Or perhaps you’re driving alongside the wheel ruts of wool wagons that trundled these then remote areas at the turn of the 20th century. You may be at the site of a long abandoned gold rush township – crumbling buildings the only clue to the town’s once bustling days. Or maybe you’re at an area of special Aboriginal significance. Whatever the case, the Outback Pathways signage will reveal the region’s natural, indigenous and historical secrets.

You can travel the Outback Pathways in any direction, in part, or as part of an entire Outback Pathways experience.

Take a copy of the Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways Guidebook to help plan your journey and discover even more about this fascinating outback region. Or buy a special edition book with three bonus CDs to listen to stories about the region while you’re on the road. The CDs feature a riotous line up of tales, told by the colourful characters who call the Gascoyne Murchison home.
