Together with North West Coastal Highway , it forms part of the Western Australian coastal link to the Northern Territory. The highway is a part of Australia's Highway 1 . It is about 424 km long. The highway was completed in 1975 and opened in 1976 by then premier Charles Court , who named it in honour of former premier Sir David Brand . The highway passes through agricultural areas. Among its attractions are the unique WA Wildflowers such as Australian Christmas Tree , Kangaroo Paw , Grass Tree plus various national parks. Dongara , as well as the off-highway settlements of Jurien Bay and Cervantes are popular tourist destinations. En-route there are several roadhouses.
