Western Australia's Golden Outback Region is one of the most fascinating places in Australia. It is a place of contrasts, from the rich reds and yellows of the desert, to the vivid greens and blues of the Eucalypt Woodlands and Eucla coastline. Australia's native Aboriginal people can still be found in their traditional customs and lifestyles in many places and you wont have any trouble finding Kangaroos and Emu's. As a major mining area, human activity is largely concentrated in thriving towns with a spirit and history that will captivate your interest.
The destinations listed on this page are in alphabetical order. Each destination has its own unique attractions and lifestyle, so for the best perspective, take time to explore all areas.
