Australia’s largest state is full of beautiful surprises

Traverse Australia’s largest state, Western Australia: the only state that stretches right from the north to the south.

The vast landscape makes this state one of the country’s most diverse. In one trip, you may find yourself exploring everything from the endlessly arid outback to hidden-away tropical locations to the luxurious wine regions in the south of the state.

Western Australia’s capital city Perth is touted as one of the most remote locations on the planet, but what Perth lacks in connection to the rest of Australia, it makes up for with a thriving urban centre. Packed full of vibrant street art and a superb cafe scene, Australia’s most isolated city also provides easy access to a sweep of local, white-sanded beaches.

What’s more, it’s the ideal state for driving, with hundreds of highways winding their way through the desert plains. Explore everything from the Nullarbor Plains (home to the world’s largest golf course), the World Heritage listed Savannah Way, and Gibb River Road which takes you on a journey through the tangled wilderness of the northern Kimberley Region. Every stop along the way provides you an opportune moment to soak up the beautiful weather, experience some of the most stunning scenery on earth, and learn about the local Aboriginal cultures who have made the area their home for 50,000 years.
