About Western Australia

Being Australia’s least populated state but covering a third of the continent, the sheer scale of Western Australia is awe-inspiring. Its landscape stretches over 2600 kilometres, from the lush green scenery in the south to the wild frontier of the north with the deep reds of the outback. Empty white powdery surf beaches stretch the length of the coast, contrasting with the magnificent blues of the Indian Ocean.

Perth, the gateway to Western Australia, enjoys a cosmopolitan but laid back lifestyle and offers a year-long summer, great gastronomic experiences, as well as plenty of water based activities centred around miles of great beaches.

Travel north of Perth for amazing wildlife encounters. Get up close with dolphins at Monkey Mia or swim with whale sharks on Ningaloo Reef. For a true Aussie outback adventure and the opportunity to immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture, travel further north to the spectacular landscapes of the Kimberley’s. To explore this region, we recommend you either join one of our guided tours or let us plan your own 4WD adventure. This remote part of Australia is fascinating and the stresses of modern day life will feel a distant memory.

Travel south of Perth for towering forests, whale watching, fine food and wine and world class surfing. Margaret River is perfect for both family holidays or romantic getaways. Explore networks of underground caves, a rugged coastline, squeaky-clean sandy beaches and towering forests with the family. For a romantic escape, Margaret River has plenty to offer – cosy log fires and brisk walks along the beach in the winter and world class wineries, boutique accommodation and gourmet restaurants all year round.

Coral Coast

Isolated beaches, exotic marine life, national parks, wildflower bushland and the bluest ocean you’ll see anywhere in the world, can all be found on Australia’s Coral Coast, which includes the area north west of Perth.

Play with dolphins in Shark Bay at Monkey Mia, swim with mantarays or dive with whalesharks on Ningaloo Reef – this region is a dream come true for marine wildlife lovers.

Discover this remote part of Australia on a self drive (see below for a suggested itinerary) or if you prefer to let someone else do the driving, please speak to your consultant who can recommend escorted touring options.

Northwest Broome & The Kimberleys

Beyond Broome is the Kimberley region, one of the world’s last true wilderness areas. This remote and rugged part of Australia lends itself well o guided adventure tours. We recommend the 3 Day West Kimberley Experience, operated by a locally owned tour company whose guides have extensive knowledge of the region. If you prefer to discover this area on a 4WD self drive, please speak to your consultant who can tailor make your itinerary. But before you embark on your Aussie wilderness experience, we recommend you spend a few days relaxing in Broome, a laid back pearling town full of charm, or on the white sun-kissed sands of Cable Beach.

If you want to experience the Kimberleys in full comfort and luxury, why not stay at the El Questro Homestead, an exclusive boutique hotel set within the unspoilt frontiers of a million acre wilderness park.
