We are talking pure hard core Australian desert here. The Goldfields regions is not just the old fields and history, but it also encompasses the pure unadulterated desert landscape. Many of the goldmines are still working with some of the largest in this country found here. If you have ever wanted to travel down one of these steep shafts then this is the time and the place to do it. 

Inland is the remote town of Warburton. It is on the unsealed Great Central Road which is part of the Outback Highway. This remote community sits between two deserts, the Gibson and Great Victoria Deserts which provide a rich scenery so typical of the desert and surrounding area.

The Great Central Road, which stretches from Laverton for more than 1,500 kilometres (932 miles) is a classic outback adventure that passes through some of the most isolated and beautiful parts of Australia. Detailed maps and guides are available for this journey from Laverton to Uluru.
