Outback Coast And Gascoyne Overview

The Outback Coast is a mind-numbing expanse of bushland, broken only by termite mounds and the occasional befuddled emu crossing the road. Although the distances between towns are daunting, the sights and activities that lie hidden off the coast of this apparent wasteland can rejuvenate road-weary travelers. The dazzling ocean that abuts this semi-desert counters its sparseness with an impressive abundance of marine life, from the dolphins and dugongs of Shark Bay to the whale sharks and coral of the Ningaloo Marine Park. Winter is high season, when Perthites park themselves along the sunny coast.
