Tourist Drives in Western Australia are routes through areas of scenic or historic significance, designated by route markers with white numbers on a brown shield.[2] Tourist Drives were introduced into Western Australia while Eric Charlton was the state government Minister for Transport in the 1990s. The 28 numbered routes collectively traverse more than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) across the state.[1] In addition to the Tourist Drives, there are unnumbered routes such as the Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail,[3] and local governments may designate and maintain local scenic drives, generally unnamed and unnumbered.[4]
