In June of 2012 I was privileged to join my sister on the trip of a life time: nearly a month traversing the Canning Stock Route (CSR) in the Australian Outback. In order for you to grasp what an awesome opportunity it was, allow me to tell you a little bit about the Canning Stock Route. As the name suggests it was a cattle route created in the early 1900s to service the beef industry in Western Australia. Spanning 1,150 miles it is the longest historic stock route in the world. After the last cattle drive in 1959 the route slowly began to gain popularity as a challenging 4x4 adventure route.
