Amazing holidays in western Australia!

Welcome to Western Australia, an area of vast wild lands and desert planes dotted with small towns and the thriving metropolis of Perth. Locals and visitors alike love this area of Australia as it’s the perfect, uniquely extreme blend of country and city living. Bordered with some of the wildest beaches in Oz, and with mountain ranges and arid plateaus to explore, a trip to Western Australia won’t disappoint!

This expansive area is largely untouched, meaning you’ll find a large proportion of untouched aboriginal sites this side of the island continent. Discover one of the oldest surviving cultures on Earth by a guided tour with companies such as Nyungar Tours, where you’ll learn about the deep connection of the existing aboriginal people to the land, sea, art, and language of this area.

The capital city of the area is Perth, known for having more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in Oz, with over 30,000 hours recorded. Strewth! Sitting on the banks of the Swan River where it meets the southwest coast, Perth is home to some stunning beaches, as well as exciting nightlife and amazing shopping malls, art galleries, and classy dining!

Other things to do in Western Australia include:

Go snorkelling in the clear waters of Mettams Pool, just off the coast of Perth, where you’ll spot colourful patterned fish, starfish, and octopuses between the leafy grasses of the shallow waters.
Take a selfie with a quokka! Quokkas are wallabies that are roughly the size of cats, and the best place to see them is on Rottnest Island, 12 miles off the coast of Perth. They’re pretty inquisitive, so taking a selfie with these happy-looking chaps will be a doddle!
A 25-minute shuttle from Perth takes you to hipster town Fremantle. Take the Convicts, Culture and Street Art walking tours down UNESCO-listed streets to hear colourful tales of Irish criminals, learn about the whaling stations, and see some inspired aboriginal art.
35,000 humpback whales migrate along the Western Australian coastline each spring, making this the perfect place to take a Whale Watching cruise along what’s known as the ‘Whale Highway’ of the world!

A WINE ADVENTURE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA!

If you’re a wine drinker, you might already recognise some names in Western Australia, such as Margaret River. The pristine, fertile swathes of land are home to some of the best vineyards in Australasia, which are aided by the largely deserted maritime climate which slows the ripening of the fruit to produce a unique and desirably delicious flavour. Don’t just take our word for it though - travel through the vast wine regions of Western Australia and discover a vineyard tour or two to try the delicate, tasty wines for yourselves!
