Visit Western Australia
The best places to visit in Western Australia
With its vast open spaces and glittering night skies, Western Australia’s emptiness is all part of its appeal. Along the coast you’ll find beaches, cities and reefs to rival any of those along Australia’s eastern shores, while inland, it’s the dusty desert and twisted rock formations that make this state unique. When planning your visit to Western Australia, these are the stops we recommend.

Perth
Perth
A relaxed place, state capital Perth is where you’ll find Western Australia’s liveliest bars and restaurants, with a smattering of parks, museums and galleries thrown in too. Meanwhile nearby Fremantle, just 14 miles away, is your seaside getaway. Chill out in a deck chair with an ice cream, tuck into fish and chips or sample the coffee along the famous Cappuccino Strip. Spend around 2-3 days here, or longer if you want to add a trip to peaceful Rottnest Island, home to the selfie-loving quokka.

Exmouth & Ningaloo Reef
Exmouth & Ningaloo Reef
A sleepy town half way between Perth and Broome, Exmouth is the gateway to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, which offers world-class diving and snorkelling among turtles, octopus, sharks and rays. Better yet, between March and July it’s whale shark season. Take a boat trip out to swim alongside these gentle giants, which grow to lengths of up to 14 metres.
