Western Australia Travel Guide

From the tropical north, down through the Great Sandy Desert to the southwest's forests and wineries, Western Australia is a land of beautiful contrasts.

This state stands in stark contrast to its eastern cousins; development has not occurred along the coast at the same furious pace as it has on the eastern seaboard. This is an ancient land and a huge one, covering one-third of the country.

Find boutique wineries, gourmet produce and world-class surfing in the southwest - known for its forests of karri trees - and escape the crowds and float amongst tropical sealife on Ningaloo Reef. Broome, with beautiful Cable Beach, is the gateway to the ancient and spectacular landscapes of the Kimberley Region, while Perth - regarded as being 'the most isolated city on the planet' - is sparkling clean, and blessed with surrounding pristine beaches, hills and leafy woodland areas.
