Outback self-drive routes

Select an outback self-drive route and hit the open road on the outback driving holiday of a lifetime. It’s a great way to experience the breathtaking scenery, wildflower trails and warm hospitality of Western Australia’s Golden Outback.

With a good network of sealed roads and gravel tracks, many drive routes can be undertaken with a conventional vehicle and even a caravan in tow. But those who would rather blaze a trail of sand and dirt will find plenty of challenging outback four wheel drive routes to choose from.

Many drive routes also include guide books to help you plan your itinerary and offer more detailed information about the areas you are visiting. Contact the local visitor centre to obtain a route guide. And to ensure you enjoy a safe and well-planned journey, be sure to take a look at Travel times and distances, Road safety and Important travel tips. If you have your camping gear or caravan in tow, check out the range of caravan parks and camping sites available in Australia’s Golden Outback.
