Nothing but Red Dirt

"Mate, there is nothing but red dirt north of Perth. Trust me, I lived up there for 15 years. Nothing but red dirt and old farts driving around oversized caravans."

Perth to Carnarvon


Why does everyone want to go up there (north of Perth)? Nothing but red dirt. So I was told by a local I met in the Perth.

You could have visited Woomera to see red dirt. At least, that's what I figure would be there, having never visited.
