Brookton Highway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brookton Highway is a mostly 2-lane undivided single carriageway in Western Australia, running from the southern Perth suburb of Kelmscott, through Westdale, to the southern Wheatbelt town of Brookton. It is signposted as State Route 40, however the route continues on far past Brookton, passing through Corrigin, Kondinin, Hyden, Lake King, and finishing at South Coast Highway, just west of Ravensthorpe.
Near its western terminus, the road passes through thick jarrah forest in the Darling Scarp; however further east, the landscape soon becomes flat and uninteresting, passing through wheat farming regions until reaching Ravensthorpe. The eastern part of Route 40 is quite narrow in places, which presents a problem as the road is used by tourists driving to Wave Rock. The state government is progressively upgrading sections of the road.
