Day 1: Perth to Goldfields
Click to view the Day 1 Journey Map
Our adventure begins with an early start from Perth. Travelling through the Jarrah forests of the Darling Ranges, we follow the Goldfields water pipeline through rolling farmlands and sleepy country towns. Learn about the pipeline constructed over 100 years ago to provide water for the Goldfields.
Soon we pass out of the golden wheatlands and into the historic gold mining areas of Southern Cross, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. We stop here for supplies and then head north to set-up our first bush camp for the night at Lake Ballard where the famous sculptures of Antony Gormley stand on a vast salt lake.
