Four kilometres (2.5 mi) after crossing the Fortescue River, Great Northern Highway intersects Marble Bar Road, the highway's original alignment.
It proceeds north to Marble Bar, mostly as an unsealed road, whilst the highway  deviates north-west, reaching Newman after three kilometres (2 mi).
The flat landscape gives way to gentle ranges, which the highway meanders around as it heads west-north-west for 109 kilometres (68 mi).
It then curves around to the north, proceeding over a distance of 48 kilometres (30 mi) to Karijini Road, the entrance road to the Karijini National Park.
The highway continues north for another 35 kilometres (22 mi), travelling through the north-eastern corner of the national park to Nanutarra Munjina Road.
Great Northern Highway proceeds on its journey north, crossing the Yule River and its tributaries.
The highway then runs parallel to the Turner River over a 220-kilometre (140 mi) distance until it reaches North West Coastal Highway.
This junction is the northern terminus of the National Highway 95, and Great Northern Highway continues north-east as National Highway 1 – part of Australia's Highway 1, which is signed as National Route 1 along North West Coastal Highway.
The turnoff for Port Hedland is 32 kilometres (20 mi) north-east of the intersection, and from there the highway heads east for 40 kilometres (25 mi) to the northern end of Marble Bar Road, and reaching Pardoo after another 72 kilometres (45 mi).
It parallels the coastline thereafter, passing into the Kimberley region shortly after the Pardoo Roadhouse.
