Top Regional Road Trips: Western Australia


South West Corner

A holiday destination known and loved by West Aussies for decades, the beauty of the south-west corner of Western Australia - and Australia - only came to the attention of the rest of the country with the development of the Margaret River wine region in the 1980s. Here there are surf beaches, rocky headlands, forests of giant karri trees, limestone caves, wineries, timber milling towns and farming communities.

South Coast

The coastal region of Western Australia's Great Southern is well known to the people of Western Australia as an area of natural beauty. For many it is their summer playground, with clean beaches, beautiful coastal vistas that extend to the horizon and beyond, and rugged outcrops of granite dotting both the picturseque coastline and the hinterland. Travellers who cross the Nullarbor Plain by road on their way to Perth have the option at Norseman to travel north via Kalgoorlie or south via the South Coast and the towns of Esperance and Albany.

Wheatbelt Granite Loop

You can experience the striking beauty of massive granite outcrops rising impressively across the landscape of the rolling farmlands in a little visited part of Western Australia - the Wheatbelt. An abundance of natural vegetation around these unique rock formations includes wandoo, salmon gum, dense honey-myrtle and tea tree thickets giving way to flowering granite Kunzea, with their gnarled shapes. The journey is a memorable contrast of picturesque farmlands, rocky granite outcrops, vibrant floral displays stretching into the distance, tranquil picnic spots and a profusion of bird and animal life.
