The Murchison GeoRegion is Australia’s first major geotourism development. It highlights the abiotic, biotic and cultural features of significant sites in the region to encourage a deeper understanding of, and connection with, the land.

Abiotic (non-living) elements include the climate and landforms, as well as the geological formations and processes that created what you’ve come to see. Biotic (living) elements include the site’s biodiversity (its animals and plants) and how the site’s unique abiotic features have created a place for them to thrive.

Cultural (human) elements emerge out of a site’s abiotic and biotic features (what drew people here) and describe how people have engaged with the natural environment over time. While visiting the 21 sites along the GeoRegion trail, we encourage you to take a moment to consider how each element works together.
