The Connie Sue Highway is an outback road which runs from Rawlinna, on the Indian-Pacific Railway to the Aboriginal community of Warburton, on the Great Central Road. Approximately 650 km long and running north-south, it lies entirely in the state of Western Australia and it crosses the Nullarbor Plain and the Great Victoria Desert. Though officially named the Rawlinna-Warburton Road, it is better known as the Connie Sue, after the daughter of Len Beadell, a famous 20th century surveyor and bushman.
This road, like many Len Beadell built, is a "highway" in name only. It is remote and does not carry regular traffic. There is no known available ground water and it is one of the longest stretches in Australia between fuel pumps. Travellers need to be thoroughly prepared before tackling it.
