YES. The roads within the Shire of Murchison are extremely reliable despite being primarily gravel. However, if you are travelling up from Mullewa you will find the road is predominantly sealed. We always recommend traveling a little slower in 2WD and ensure you pay close attention to the road conditions. At times, heavy rain may make the road unsuitable for travel and so we always advise you check the Shire of Murchison's website for detailed updates. Click here.
