Outback Road Trips

Covering a million square kilometres, Australia’s North West offers plenty of outback drive adventures, from Karijini National Park in the Pilbara to four-wheel driving the famous Gibb River Road in the Kimberley.

Drive the North West

Self-driving holidays in the Pilbara, Kimberley and Broome regions offer epic adventures for all.

Gibb River Road

A true outback odyssey on one of Australia’s most unique 4WD tracks – go ‘over the range’ and into the Kimberley’s vast untouched wilderness, ancient gorge country and epic cattle stations.

Mitchell Plateau - Kalumburu Track

From its junction with the Gibb River Road, the Kalumburu Road and Mitchell Plateau Track is a challenging drive that rewards you with jaw-dropping views of the wild escarpments, tropical rainforests and tiered falls of spectacular Mitchell River National Park, and culminates with world-class fishing on the remote north coast at Kalumburu Mission.

Dampier Peninsula

From Broome, drive up to the Dampier Peninsula taking you back to simple pleasures and ancient culture – go fishing, mud crabbing, bush food foraging, swimming or snorkelling and stroll the wide-open stretches of pristine beaches.

Duncan Road

Stock up on your supplies, turn off the Great Northern Highway (Savannah Way) and enter the secret scenic route between Halls Creek and Kununurra.

Tanami Road

Linking Central Australia, to Halls Creek in the Kimberley.

Canning Stock Route

One of the world’s most challenging and remote four wheel drive adventures. Start or end your journey at Halls Creek in the Kimberley. You can also join the Canning Stock Route from Newman in the Pilbara.

Pilbara Rail Access Roads

Leisure travellers in the Pilbara can get a permit to travel on the rail access roads running alongside over 1400km connecting mine sites with the ports.

Warlu Way

A network of sealed and unsealed routes invite you to follow the trail of the Warlu or sea serpent on a self-drive journey through Western Australia’s spectacular Pilbara and neighbouring regions.

Savannah Way

The 3700-kilometre route crosses Australia's top end from Cairns in Tropical North Queensland to the Kimberley in Australias North West.

Coastal Route South of Broome

Blissfully secluded coastal camping is more accessible than you think – drive south of Broome for a glamping experience at Eco Beach, or set up camp on the vast white sands of Eighty Mile Beach.
