Membership Information

Australia's Golden Outback is the peak tourism body responsible for driving visitation and growth to the region through marketing & destination development initiatives.

The region stretches from countryside to coastline covering 54% of Western Australia’s spectacular outback. It provides diverse and iconic attractions, an abundance of epic road trips and unique holiday destinations along roads less travelled.

It stretches from red earthed station stays in the Gascoyne Murchison, to charming Wheatbelt country towns and out to the Goldfields, fuelled with stories of gold rush culture and history. The eye-catching colours continue onto the southern coast with Esperance and its national park surroundings. The whole region contains a dazzling diversity of plants and wildflowers, native animals and majestic landscapes. Every spring, the region bursts into a dazzling display of wildflowers.

Our ultimate mission is to increase visitor numbers to the region, extend the average length of stay and encourage visitor spending. The team at AGO create and deliver targeted marketing campaigns to fulfil our strategic priorities, with collaborative and innovative approaches and we will continue to deliver activities into 2024/2025.
