Gascoyne Dash
27th - 30th October
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Dash is a motorsport event that pits car against car and bike against bike and then the quickest of each against each other to determine who the King of the River is. 501 kilometres of everchanging outback terrain from rough, rocky traverses to sandy riverbed; from steep hills to fast station tracks; from sand dunes to tough unforgiving moonscapes that have to be experienced to be believed.
It is an awesome challenge across some of the harshest and remote country in Australia. Situated between the seaside town of Carnarvon and Gascoyne Junction WA - the desert by the sea. The Gascoyne Dash offers a 185 km circuit of challenging racing on Bidgemia Station just north of Gascoyne Junction followed by a 300 km dash down the Lyons and Gascoyne dry riverbeds into the coastal town of Carnarvon.Enjoy the festivities at Coonantha on Friday night. Full bar and entertainment. Good food available.
