The Canning Stock Route is one of the most isolated and remote public tracks in the world and extends 1800kms from Halls Creek in the Kimberleys to Wiluna in Western Australia.

It was established as a stock route in 1910 as a way to allow the east Kimberley cattlemen to bring cattle to the Perth market

Even today, travelling the Canning Stock Route is a challenging proposition. The longest historic stock route in the world traverses four deserts – The Tanami, Great Sandy, Little Sandy and Gibson, and is primarily a bush track which is kept open but generally not maintained. In parts the route is wildly beautiful with fresh water springs creating oases in the middle of nowhere. At other times wildflowers stretch as far as the eye can see. August is probably the best month for wild flowers.
