The destination marketing organisation for Western Australia's Golden Outback region has launched a road trip guide timed to launch as Western Australia's borders reopen 3 March 2022. 

The 25 Epic Road Trips guide features a diverse range of Western Australia (WA) road trip itineraries.

“The road trips in WA's Golden Outback are spectacular ranging from short 1-hour routes to multi-day adventures through a diverse range of landscapes and experiences. It's definitely a case of the journey being just as important as the destination,” said CEO of Australia's Golden Outback, Marcus Falconer.

“Road trips, more than ever now, are a great way for people to get away from it all and focus on their connection with friends and family, whilst having a great adventure. Research also suggests that people are wanting to travel more consciously, supporting smaller communities and avoiding large crowds” he said.

The Australia's Golden Outback region spans four subregions covering Esperance & the Fitzgerald Coast, The Wheatbelt, The Goldfields and Gascoyne Murchison. It covers 54% of Western Australia and features scenery ideal for coastal beach lovers and outback adventurers. 

- Esperance & The Southern Coast road trips take travellers through coastal landscapes and bushland, including the Fitzgerald Biosphere coast, classed as one of the world's 'biodiversity hotspots'.

The Wheatbelt, located in the southwest corner of WA, features road trips through quirky towns, silo art trails and huge towering granite outcrops.

- Kalgoorlie Boulder and the Goldfields road trips offer a real Australian outback adventure with a fascinating insight into the region's colourful gold rush history. Featuring historic buildings, character pubs, otherworldy art installations and eerie ghost towns.

- The Gascoyne Murchison region features the biggest rock (monolith) in Australia, Mount Augustus (twice the size of Uluru) and plenty of unique Station Stay accommodation for that true outback hospitality experience.
