Kanku-Breakaways

Highlights

Welcome to the Kanku-Breakaways, where the Outback turns into a stunning work of art! These colourful hills look like they’ve been plucked from another world, with dramatic colours that change as the sun moves across the sky. The “Salt and Pepper” outcrop and Panorama Hill are just some of the highlights you’ll see from the lookout points.

The Breakaways are full of history and adventure. Explore the Dog Fence, one of the longest structures in the world, and the Moon Plain, a desert-like area that looks like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. It’s a photographer’s paradise and a place you’ll never forget!
