Western Australia's Goldfields Region is one of the most fascinating places in Australia's Outback. It is a place of contrasts, from the rich reds and yellows of the desert, to the vivid greens and blues of the Eucalypt Woodlands and Eucla coastline. Australia's native Aboriginal people can still be found in their traditional customs and lifestyles in many places and you wont have any trouble finding Kangaroos and Emu's.
