Helen speaks with Australia's Golden Outback CEO Marcus Falconer and Marketing Coordinator Gabby Simoni. Australia's Golden Outback is an areas that covers over 54% of Western Australia and offers a huge range of fascinating and contrasting experiences for tourists.

Helen and Marcus discuss some of the different self-drive routes, including the Great South West Edge (Perth to Esperance), the Road to the Rock (Perth to Mount Augustus) and the most iconic Golden Quest Discovery Trail (Coolgardie to Kalgoorlie-Boulder). They also cover some specific activities for travellers such as golf in Kalgoorlie and 4WD motor biking in Laverton.

Gabby then shares her experiences on the Outback Way, and how Australia's Golden Outback and the Outback Way are promoting these iconic regions to visitors from all over the world.
