Features

Half Moon Reef skirts the western side of the Pelsaert Group, the southernmost reefs and islands of the Houtman Abrolhos Islands, off the coast of Western Australia.It was here that, in 1727, one of the most remarkable sagas in the annals of maritime history occurred. At about 7.30 in the evening of 9th June the Dutch East India Company ship Zeewijk, with a crew of 212, ran violently onto Half Moon Reef. Using the ship's longboat, Captain Jan Steijns ferried 96 survivors to nearby Gun Island. They remained there for nearly five months, finding wells dug by human hands, edible vegetables and parts of the wreck of an unidentified Dutch ship.
On the 10th July, 12 men sailed to Batavia in the Zeewijck's long boat but were never seen again.

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.

Highlights

Perth: The Sunny Capital

Like Darwin, Perth is an isolated city in terms of its proximity to the other states, capital cities and for that matter, the rest of the world, which raises a curiosity in people's minds as to what it is like. For many eastern staters, to travel so far is like going to another country, except here there are Aussies just like them living a lifestyle similar to theirs. The population is easy-going and friendly, and a warm welcome is assured.
