The Warly Way The Warlu Way follows the path of the warlu or Dreamtime sea serpent as it traverses the Gascoyne Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia. The 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 reveals the mysteries of the warlu and other Aboriginal legends by taking you on a 2480 kilometre self drive journey through Western Australias spectacular Gascoyne Pilbara and Kimberley regions. Interpretive signage along the drive opens your eyes to the secrets of this country and its historical cultural and natural wonders. Beginning on the shores of the Ningaloo Marine Park in Exmouth and Coral Bay these towns are gateways to the Ningaloo Reef and the almighty whale shark. From here the Warlu Way moves east to the Karijini National Park a fusion of plummeting gorges waterfalls mountains and escarpments. The trail also includes the towns of Newman Tom Price and Paraburdoo. Moving west to the Millstream Chichester National Park experience the crystal clear waterways rolling spinifex hills and escarpments this area has to offer. The Fortescue River in the park is also home to the warlu after which the trail is named. Returning to the coast Karratha is the gateway to the Dampier Archipelago and the Burup Peninsula. These areas are home to the worlds largest collection of Indigenous art some dating back to more than 20000 years ago. The Warlu Way moves north next visiting Cossack Roebourne Port Hedland and Marble Bar - each boasting rich histories including pearling gold and pastoralism. From here the trail moves along the coast to Eighty Mile Beach before reaching Broome a once remote outpost which today offers glorious beaches pearl farming and is the meeting place of several diverse cultures. Some roads may need a permit before commencing your drive it is important to always check with the local visitor centre about road and weather conditions before embarking on the next leg of your journey.
