Welcome to Western Australia For Everyone
Western Australia is Australia's largest state, covering the western most third of the mainland, bordering South Australia and the Northern Territory. A range of experiences, from wilderness adventures in the arid outback or diving on coral reefs, to fine dining in world-class restaurants or a night at a casino, attract a wide variety of visitors. Perth is Western Australia's capital city.
The Wonders of Karijini National Park
Now is the time to start thinking about a trip to the north or north west of Western Australia. May to September is when the weather is the most pleasant, the gorges are looking resplendant and the wildflowers are in bloom.
Up Close With Nature
Lucky Bay, in Cape Le Grand National Park, is one of the most stunning and unique bays in Australia. It stretches for over five kilometres, offering a magnificent stretch of beach and sparkling clear blue water. Local kangaroos descend to the beach of an evening to dine on fresh seaweed and afterwards laze around on the sand, and don't seem to mind a bit of human company.
Wildflowers
Mention wildflowers and most Australians think of Western Australia, and it is no wonder. With up to 12,000 species found within its borders and many unique to the State, Western Australia's wildflower season draws visitors from all over the world. One of the best regions to see wildflowers - and not far from Perth - is the state's Mid West, where the wildflowers are in full bloom from August to October.
