The Gary Highway 400 kilometres (250 mi) is a remote road in central Western Australia. It was built by Len Beadell's Gunbarrel Road Construction Party in April and May 1963 and named after Beadell's son who was born earlier that year.
It connects the Gunbarrel Highway at Everard Junction in the Gibson Desert to the south, to the Gary Junction Road at Gary Junction on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert to the north. It is one of only two north-south tracks in the central deserts of Western Australia, the other being the Sandy Blight Junction Road, another Len Beadell track.
The track itself is a single lane, not overgrown but quite corrugated over its entire length and for the most part quite straight, with the exception of a section from 22.85ºS to 22.88ºS where the track winds between sand dunes.
The track is quite navigable there are no sand dunes to climb and the surface is hard sand and gravel although the southern end has suffered several wash-aways through the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve.
The total length of the track is about 425 kilometres (264 mi), including side trips to Veevers Crater and McPhersons Pillar. It is a very remote track with both the start and end being many hundreds of kilometres from any significant settlements or major supply points.
An HF radio or satellite phone should be carried as there are no buildings, habitation or facilities of any kind along this track and travellers should be totally self-sufficient in terms of fuel, food, water and vehicle support. The nearest supplies are to the north at Kunawaritji near Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route, or some 300 kilometres (190 mi) south of Everard Junction at Warburton Roadhouse to the east, or Carnegie Station to the west.
