The way of the Warlu, or sea serpent, traverses an ancient and sacred land rich in natural beauty and enchanting Aboriginal stories.
It sends you back in time to a mystical era when a mighty Warlu emerged from the sea and travelled through the pulsing red heart of northern Western Australia, forming waterways as he moved.
The Warly Way reveals the mysteries of the Warlu and other Aboriginal legends by taking you on a 2,480 kilometre self-drive journey through Western Australia’s Gascoyne, Pilbara and Kimberley regions – areas resplendent with sapphire seas, towering cliffs, ancient Aboriginal art, rugged ranges and inland oases.
