Embark on a 4WD journey from Perth to Coolgardie, exploring rugged landscapes and fascinating history along the way.
Setting out on the historic route
“You won’t get through in that!” This is a familiar refrain from 4WD drivers when they see us with William, our Suncamper Conqueror, and ask where we are going. His bulk and seeming top-heaviness give a false impression which is belied by his balance, agility and power.
So we were not surprised to hear it when we mentioned we were going to ‘do’ the Holland Track – an iconic 4WD track from the south-west of Western Australia to Coolgardie in the Goldfields. It has a length of 680 kilometres from its original starting point of the village of Broomhill, south of Wagin; and after the last town of Hyden, there are 350 kilometres without a town Holland settlement, mine, cattle station or farm.
