Frequently asked questions

What are the best unsealed driving roads in Western Australia?+

The page above lists Contour's top-scored unsealed roads in Western Australia, ordered by sports RQS. These are gravel, dirt, or compacted surface roads.

What vehicle do I need for these roads?+

Most are accessible to passenger vehicles in good conditions, but a 4WD or high-clearance vehicle is often safer. Check the 4WD RQS and any grey spot flags on each road page for specifics.

Do these roads close in wet weather?+
