Western Australia

Often referred to as the ‘Wildflower State’, Western Australia (WA) is Australia’s largest state, covering nearly one-third of the country! Renowned for its incredibly vast and diverse landscape attractions from peculiar rock formations to world class wineries, ancient indigenous sites, and crystal-clear ocean waters; the possibilities for exploration in Western Australia are endless.

Perth, Western Australia's state capital, is the fourth largest capital city of Australia, and is renowned for its regular sunshine, earning the title of Australia’s sunniest capital. Situated on the Swan River, Perth offers a relaxed lifestyle blending city living and nature with one of the world's largest inner-city parks, Kings Park and Botanic Garden. The city has many popular attractions including the Perth Mint, Elizabth Quay, and Cottesloe Beach, one of the best places to watch a stunning Indian Ocean sunset.

Perth is the gateway to some incredible destinations including the Coral Coast, Golden Outback, the South West region and some of Australia’s finest wine regions including the Swan Valley and Margaret River. As a coastal city, it offers easy access to the nearby neighbouring islands, such as Garden Island and Rottnest Island, famed for its photogenic Quokka.

While weather conditions during this period can restrict travel to certain areas, the wet season is considered by many as the most beautiful time of year to visit the North West with stunning waterfalls, spectacular storms, and a lush green landscape.
