In the 1860's renowned bushman E.T. Howley pioneered the De Grey Stock Route.This heritage trail follows the route first gazetted in 1905, commencing at the mouth of the De Grey River and finishing at Mullewa.
The trail takes in three of the southern-most government wells and a natural watering hole, Hughie Rocks. Stretching north for almost 1,500 kilometres this route linked vast pastoral properties of the Murchison, Pilbara and the Gascoyne areas to the markets of Perth and South-West.
