Goldfields self-drive trails

Western Australia’s Goldfields offer a number of great self-drive trail experiences, including those that lead in and out of the region, such as the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail (linking Perth and Kalgoorlie-Boulder), the Holland Track (linking Broomehill in the south-west with Coolgardie), and The Outback Way (linking Laverton in the north-east Goldfields with Winton in Queensland).

Once within the Goldfields, there's the award-winning Golden Quest Discovery Trail, The Golden Quest Green Trail and the Leonora Loop Trails.

The official starting point for the 965-kilometre Golden Quest Discovery Trail is at Coolgardie, and it links 25 interpretive sites within the Goldfields, its official end point being Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s Super Pit. A minimum of the 3 days is recommended for this self-drive adventure.

The Golden Quest Green Trail highlights six sites within the Coolgardie bioregion, including Burra Rock, Cave Hill Reserve, Red Hill and Rowles Lagoon. All sites reflect the region’s fascinating biodiversity, and provide insights into the intimate relationship between the region’s Aboriginal people and their ancient land.

The Leonora Loop Trails are two adventure drives in the Northern Goldfields, each of which can be done in a day. One is called the Darlot Loop and the other the Agnew Loop, and they're a great way to see the sights and soak up the stories of the Leonora Shire.
