The journey between Perth and Sydney takes at least three days. Driving maps can be purchased via the Western Australian Tourism Commission (see Contact Addresses). There is no longer a coach service to Adelaide - travellers need to go via Broome and Darwin to head to the eastern states. Integrity Coach Lines (tel: (8) 9226 1339; website: www.integritycoachlines.com.au) and South West Coachlines (tel: (8) 9324 2333; website: www.southwestcoachlines.com.au) run coach services throughout the southern part of Western Australia and as far north as Port Hedland.

Local trains run from Perth to Armadale, Midland, Fremantle and Joondalup. A zonal fare structure covers all transport modes; tickets issued on one mode are valid for transfer to any of the others (bus, rail and ferry). Perth has a central Free Transit Zone (identified by: FTZ) where any bus and train journeys are free. A free CAT (Central Area Transit) Bus service circles the city centres of Perth, Joondalup and Fremantle Monday to Saturday.
