Basically, directions are not capitalized. Capitalize directions when they designate geographical parts of the country, region or city or when used as part of proper names to designate a world division.
Do not capitalize when used to indicate parts of states or provinces.
Examples:
The car headed midwest.
Maurice went to Midwest Australia.
Maurice went to midwest California.
