This article is an itinerary.
The Gunbarrel Highway is without a doubt one of the most famous tracks in Australia. Linking Western Australia to the so-called Red Centre, it passes through some of the remotest areas in the country. The notion that it is "as straight as a gunbarrel" is false: although there are stretches that are pretty straight, other sections are not. The name comes from Len Beadell's Gunbarrel Road Construction Party which opened up a big chunk of Australia's interior during the 1950s and 1960s.
