From Wentworth in the south all the way to Cameron Corner, each town has its own unique story to tell. Adventures can be found all over the Far West, but these touring routes encapsulate some of the most incredible natural beauty, rich history and famous attractions the region has to offer.
WARNING: The Outback is a hazardous place. Carry plenty of water and make sure your vehicle is suitably equipped. Beware of animals on the road at night (seriously, they are everywhere). Let someone know where you are going. If you get stuck, stay with the vehicle. It will be easier to find you. Stay safe!
