Looking after country

During your journey along the Canning Stock Route (CSR) you will pass through amazing scenery and will possibly encounter wildlife such as emus, kangaroos, goannas, bush turkeys and other native species. We encourage all travellers to adhere to the seven principles formed by Leave No Trace Australia:

  • plan ahead and prepare

  • travel and camp on durable surfaces

  • dispose of waste properly

  • leave what you find

  • minimise the impact of fires

  • respect wildlife; and

  • be considerate of your hosts and other visitors.

Track damage — including erosion and parallel tracks (those formed where vehicles take an alternative route across vegetation to avoid corrugations and rough sections of the track) — have been assessed as threats to the country. Rubbish, evidence of firewood collection, non-traditional fire scars caused by campsites, and small camping places formed along the CSR also threaten the land. By following the above principles, you will be helping ensure that additional damages do not occur, and the integrity of the CSR remains.
