Western Australia

Ever wondered what happened to The Real Australia? The Australia where the trees weren't part of a 'landscaping design'. Where the only things colouring the water were fish. Where it was harder to find a noisy spot than a quiet one. It can still be found in Western Australia - unspoilt beaches, amazing scenery, big blue skies and friendly faces. In Western Australia you can dive with the world's largest fish - the whale shark, walk amongst the tree tops of ancient trees, sleep under a canopy of stars in the desert, or explore the gorges and wilderness areas.

Western Australia has five tourist regions: Australia's Coral Coast, Australia's Golden Outback, Australia's North West, Australia's South West and the city of Perth. We recommend exploring each tourist region for a complete perspective on what you can experience.
