WA offers unique experiences
SUN,
adventure, an awesome natural environment and friendly people - it's
what you'll find on a holiday to Western Australia whatever time of
year you visit.
Nowhere else in the world can you experience and interact with such unique natural attractions.
Dive with the world's largest fish - the whale shark, snorkel with
manta rays, swim with wild dolphins, walk amongst the tree tops of
ancient trees, sleep under a canopy of stars in the desert, or explore
the beehive-like formations of the Bungle Bungles with the help of an
Aboriginal guide.
Western Australia truly is the authentic Australian experience.
A climate to suit all occasions
The big variety of landscapes and climates in Western Australia means
there is always plenty of sunshine, making it a perfect year-round
destination.
It is a land blessed with spectacular diversity where the deep reds of
ancient interior rock formations contrast with the sparkling blue of
the Indian and Southern Oceans and the lush greenery of the stunning
southern regions.
Western Australia is famous for its long days of sunshine, spotless blue skies and brilliant beaches.
Distinct regions
The capital of Perth is Australia's western gateway and a great place to start your holiday.
Perth City in the centre of Experience Perth offers an easy-going
lifestyle - the beautiful Swan River and inner-city parks like Kings
Park add to the relaxed, natural feel.
There is much to see and do in this part of the State, from swimming in
crystal clear ocean waters to enjoying a sunny afternoon sipping a cold
beer at an open-air pub.
From the city, head to the South West for world class wineries, luxury
accommodation and forests of tall trees. These taper off to a ribbon of
coastal hinterlands of sheltered bays and rivers, often lined with
massive granite boulders and stunning outlooks.
Here, life is simple and genuine, offering a taste of rural Australian
living along with relaxing country retreats and secluded chalets.
The Golden Outback's spectacular outback and goldfields are the place
for historic townships, brilliant, starry night skies, and wide open
spaces with spinifex and red earth as far as the eye can see. Here too,
are the beaches of the Southern Ocean. These seas can be wild one day
and brilliant blue calm the next - they're also home to humpback whales
and their calves.
Awesome marine life, endless white sand beaches and warm, turquoise
waters of the Indian Ocean characterise the state's far north.
Sunshine, cooling sea breezes and the outdoor activities of the Coral
Coast make it a relaxing and friendly destination.
If it's an Aussie frontier adventure you're after head further north to the North West.
Here you'll find rugged ancient landforms, remnant rainforest, deep red
gorges, vast cattle stations and pioneering personalities, ancient
Aboriginal culture and unique quality accommodation.
The sheer size of Western Australia beckons visitors back time and
again to explore the huge number and range of holiday possibilities.
