Western 4W Driver magazine #139 Spring 2026

In the Spring edition of Western 4W Driver, Jane Pelusey explores Albany as it marks 200 years since the Amity arrived in King George Sound, Grant and Linda Hanan tackle Queensland’s Great Inland Way and Jodi Chant discovers the best side of Litchfield National Park is off the bitumen.

In our own backyard, Colin Kerr meanders through the Murchison, while Amanda Burton heads into the Great Western Woodlands to experience the Helena and Aurora Ranges at their springtime best.

We also celebrate the people who have shaped how we explore WA, from 90-year-old outback tourism pioneer Kevin Coate OAM, the remarkable Mildred Walshaw of Comet Vale, and one of our own, Ian Elliot. Mr E was a long-time contributor and former editor whose knowledge, humour and passion for WA’s history left an indelible mark on this magazine.
