THE WARLU WAY TRAIL

Experience a road trip adventure which opens your eyes to the secrets of North West Australia’s historical, cultural and natural wonders. The Warlu Way follows the path of the warlu, or Dreamtime sea serpent, as it traverses the Pilbara region of Western Australia – ancient and sacred landscapes rich in natural beauty and enchanting Aboriginal stories.

Your journey takes you back in time to the mystical Dreaming era when the warlu emerged from the sea and travelled through the pulsing red heart of the outback, forming magnificent waterways as he moved.

The Warlu Way leads you almost 3,000km from sapphire seas and offshore islands, to lush oases, plunging gorges, soaring ranges and the ancient Aboriginal culture of Australia’s North West.

Choose to explore the Warlu Way in its entirety, or do it in sections by following the four interconnected routes:

Coastal | Inland | Manuwarra Red Dog Highway | East Pilbara Geoheritage
