Follow the Miners Pathway and explore the legacy of this remarkable period through the grand old buildings and the graveyards, the rusting machinery and the rich stories of those who lived in these whirlwind times. From Paynes Find to Meekatharra, or Yalgoo to Sandstone you will share the adventure, the drama and the richness of the great Murchison goldfields.
You can drive the Miners Pathway in either direction, though it is recommended that you start in Paynes Find and travel north up the Great Northern Highway through Mt Magnet, Cue to Meekatharra. From there the Pathway goes south-east to Sandstone, then west back through Mt Magnet to Yalgoo and finally south-east again to complete the journey back at Paynes Find.
It may prove helpful to purchase the Gascoyne Murchison Outback Pathways Guidebook before you embark on your Miners Pathway self-drive adventure.
If you would like to coincide your trip with the spectacular Western Australian wildflower season, then plan your trip around August or September.
