Gary Highway

Gary Highway rewards adventurous drivers seeking remote exploration in Western Australia's vast outback. This 41.3 km route near Gibson Desert North offers the kind of isolation and raw terrain that draws serious 4WD enthusiasts away from populated areas. You'll navigate through classic desert landscape where red earth, sparse vegetation, and endless horizons define your driving experience. The trail's gentle grades mean you can focus on reading the terrain rather than wrestling with extreme elevation changes, making it accessible for experienced drivers comfortable with remote navigation.

The driving experience here is meditative yet engaging—you'll encounter variable surface conditions typical of outback tracks, from firmer sections to softer sand that demands smooth throttle control and steady concentration. Visibility is excellent across the flat terrain, allowing you to plan your line well in advance. However, this remote location demands proper preparation: ensure your vehicle is thoroughly serviced, carry ample water and fuel, and bring navigation tools since mobile coverage is unreliable this far into the Gibson Desert region. The sparse traffic means help won't simply appear—you're responsible for your own safety.

This is backcountry driving at its finest for those seeking solitude and self-reliance. Using Newtracs to track your progress and mark waypoints adds an extra layer of security to your expedition into one of Australia's most remote corners.
