I am taking delivery of a new Prado on Friday, after a long wait.
It is a long W/E here in WA so I am planning to do the trip
Perth -
Meekatharra -
Wiluna - Kalgoorlie -
Perth over the 3 days.
I have done the
Perth -
Meekatharra and Kalgoorlie -
Perth legs a few times but not the Goldfields Highway section.
Is there anything in particular I should see?

The highway north of Kalgoorlie is boring bituman.
Just north of
Menzies jump into
Kookynie,
camp at
Niagara Dam.
At
Menzies turn west and head out to the Mt Jackson Road.
Camp at
Trough Well.
Check it on
Places on this site. Great spot. After
Trough Well you will head south and come out at
Westonia.
Then you can get back onto the Gt Eastern Hwy and head
home.
