About Mid West (Western Australia)
The landscape along the coast is Mediterranean, with rolling terrain and enough rainfall for livestock farming. This attracted European settlement, but the arid interior was little exploited until the discovery of gold and other minerals. A string of mining towns then developed inland, though the workings were never on the scale of Pilbara to the north or Goldfields region to the south. So to most visitors the Mid West means its coastal strip. It's a leisurely day's drive from Perth so it makes a good first night's stopover on a road trip north - anywhere between Dongara to Geraldton. After that, fuel, food and accommodation become sparse on the road up towards Carnarvon.
