Fremantle to Southern Cross
Day 1 - Friday 13th July - 422 Km
We left after lunch and made it to Southern Cross the first night. Most of the road follows the Golden Pipeline Trail which I’ve been reading about recently. It follows C.Y O’ Connor’s legendary water pipeline from Perth to Kalgoorlie and much of it it is along the main highway. The ABC recently had an excellent documentary on this in the Constructing Australia series.
In this town they have painted the pipeline gold to make the point!
Stayed the night at the Yellowdine roadhouse which was very friendly and had a great sign.
