🏜️ The Definitive Guide to the Legendary Canning Stock Route

Written by renowned Canning Stock Route historian and veteran outback 4WDer Phil Bianchi (OAM), this comprehensive guidebook is a must-have for anyone planning to tackle the most remote and demanding four-wheel drive route in Australia.

Spanning from Halls Creek to Wiluna, the Canning Stock Route (CSR) is steeped in frontier history and punishing terrain — and no one knows it better than Bianchi. This book is the culmination of decades of research, driving, and storytelling, brought together in a beautifully presented and highly practical field guide.
