Western Australia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Western Australia is the country's largest state, covering the entire western third of the continent and stretching from the tropical Kimberley region in the north to the rugged Southern Ocean coastline. It's known for dramatic natural landscapes including Ningaloo Reef — one of the world's best places to swim with whale sharks — the ancient red gorges of Karijini National Park, and the otherworldly Pinnacles Desert. Perth, the state capital, is one of the world's most remote major cities, offering a thriving food, wine, and surf scene bolstered by proximity to the Margaret River wine region. Travellers come for epic road trips, world-class snorkelling and diving, wildlife encounters, and vast wilderness that remains largely untouched.
