This vast expanse stretching from Geraldton to the Timor Sea is a land of infinite contrasts and ancient land forms. It encompasses the Midlands, the Murchison Goldfields, the Coral Coast of the Gascoyne region, the Pilbara’s coastal and gorge country and the East and West Kimberleys.
The towns of the Midlands are living reminders of the state’s early settlers and the two highways that link them are referred to as the “Scenic Way” and the “Wildflower Way”. Once a rich gold field, the red plains of the Murchison are now traversed by adventurers in 4WDs. The
Gascoyne is commonly referred to as the 'Outback Coast' because it is where the red soil meets the Indian Ocean. It includes world heritage listed
Shark Bay, famous for its wild dolphins, which seek human company at
Monkey Mia. It is also home to the world's longest fringing reef - the Ningaloo Reef.
The Pilbara is the heart of North Western Australia – a region characterised by a scale of grandeur. Its enormous mining industries employ the world’s largest ships and longest trains. Karijini National Park - Australia's largest - has spectacular 100m sheer-sided chasms. Off the coast is the Dampier Archipelago - 42 islands popular for fishing, diving and snorkelling. One of the world's last great wilderness areas, the Kimberley covers 420,000 square km (about three times the size of England) yet is home to only 30,000 people. Those who take the time to explore this remote and beautiful region will be rewarded with the full range of natural wonders –ancient ranges, gorges, thundering waterfalls, desert, rainforest and pristine coastline.
