Halls Creek

Halls Creek functions as a major administrative center situated between Fitzroy Crossing and Turkey Creek along the Great Northern Highway in Western Australia.

The establishment of Halls Creek followed the 1885 discovery of an 870-gram gold nugget by Charlie Hall, initiating a brief period of mining activity.

The region maintains strong connections to Aboriginal heritage through the Djaru and Gija peoples, who have inhabited the area for over 30,000 years.

The Halls Creek Visitor Information Centre provides essential services and updates about road conditions, serving as a central point for communication in the region.

The administrative area marks the northern terminus of the Canning Stock Route, which extends through the Great Sandy Desert toward the southern regions.
