Western Australia is famous for long days of sunshine and diverse landscapes and climates. Western Australia lies in the southern hemisphere, covering an area of more than 2.5 million square kilometres – that’s about the size of Western Europe and one-third of Australia’s total landmass. In Western Australia you can experience Australia’s sunniest capital city, whitest beach and largest expanse of outback, one of the oldest known living cultures on Earth, UNESCO World Heritage reef and rock formations, world-class surf, premium wines, and still have plenty of reasons to return.

Explore Western Australia from beach-blessed Perth. Visit Rottnest Island and Freemantle heading south for Margaret River wineries, Kalgoorlie’s goldfields and pink lake and Albany’s dramatic coastline. Head north for the rugged Pinnacles and Karijini National Park, and Ningaloo and Monkey Mia’s marine treasures. North in the Kimberley, an epic 4WD links Broome’s Cable Beach with Kununurra and El Questro Station.

Top 10 Things to See and Do:
1. Watch the sun setting over 22 kilometres of pristine white sand at Cable Beach whilst catching a ride on a camel train.
2. Stand at the Pinnacles lookout and ponder the natural forces of water and wind that shaped the Pinnacles from seashells over millions of years.
3. Enter Mother Nature’s own adventure world, Karijini National Park. Climb, swim or gaze into the depths of its 100 metre chasms, revealing four billion years of the Earth’s history and some of the oldest rocks on the planet.
4. Visit Monkey Mia – one of Western Australia’s most famous dolphin watching destinations.
5. Get a bird’s eye view of some of the tallest timber giants on Earth – Western Australia’s majestic tingle trees.
6. Feel the exhilarating rush of an open-door helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungle Range of Western Australia
7. Have a face-to-fine encounter with the wordls largest fish – the whale sharks at World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. This is one of the few places on Earth where you can swim with whale sharks.
8. Swim with wild dolphins in Perth
9. Sink your toes in the sand at Australia’s whitest beach, Lucky Bay.
10. During the cooler months at Roebuck Bay you can witness the Staircase to the Moon. This spectacular natural phenomenon is created the rising of a full moon reflecting off the tidal flats. It’s a true must-see.

Travel Tips:
To enjoy Australia’s sunniest capital and WA’s great outdoor lifestyle in safety, always apply sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses and drink plenty of water.

Making the most of WA’s 12,000 kilometres of stunning coastline requires some safety knowledge and awareness.

Surf and marine conditions can vary significantly, so always read safety signs, talk to locals and swim between the red and yellow Lifesaving flags.
