We commence our long journey south today as we retrace our steps back towards Perth. Overnight station stay in the Pilbara region.
Day 13 – Pilbara Region to Great Northern Highway
It’s a short drive to Auski Roadhouse before beginning the long drive south along the Great Northern Highway. We pass through the iron ore mecca of the north, Newman and pass through many large sheep stations, some more than 1 million acres in size. We share our last night together at Nallan Station one of the vast stations in this area.
Day 14 – Great Northern Highway to Perth
Leaving early we travel to the gold mining town of Mt Magnet. A short break and once more we are on our way to Perth. As the kilometers slip by we soon find ourselves in the wheat and sheep farming districts north east of Perth. Early afternoon will find us at the picturesque town of New Norcia built as a mission by Benedictine monks in the 1840’s. As the day draws to a close we arrive into Perth.
