Western Australia Holidays
Western Australia is the Australia’s largest but most sparsely populated state. It is a state of many contrasts with the landscape ranging from desert, through flourishing rainforest, temperate grasslands alive with wildflowers, rich agricultural and tall forests to the vibrant coastal city with amazing beaches, great accommodation, superb restaurants and an exciting nightlife. Western Australia is certainly a place to be included in your next holiday itinerary.
Travelling south from Perth there are many places of interest to visit whilst on holiday. The Margaret River wine growing region is not far away. Where a golfer can improve their swing and participate a friendly game while enjoying an excellent resort style of accommodation as well as appreciating the locally made wine and fresh seafood.
The southern regions of Western Australia are prominent as one of Australia’s best Cray and Lobster fishing regions and towns like Albany, Esperance and Bunbury all have fleets of boats dedicated to capturing these tasty little critters. Also in the South West are the magnificent Karri and Jarra forests which provide some of Australia’s finest hardwoods as well as being an awe inspiring sight for the tourist.
Travelling north from Perth along the coast you will encounter some of Australia’s most visited tourist destinations. The Avon Valley with its fabulous wildflower displays, the coastal towns of Geralton, Kalbarri and Carnarvon and the fabulous “pinnacles” desert. Located slightly further north is the Coral Coast and sensational attractions such as Ningaloo Reef where tourists can swim with the whale sharks or Monkey Mia where the local dolphins swim right in to the beach to be hand fed by the local visitors. Other important towns in the region include Exmouth and Port Headland which provide a railhead and port facilities for the states booming mining industries. This region is known as “The Pilbara”.
Traveling further north is one of Western Australia’s most iconic tourist regions, “The Kimberly”. This area is renowned as having some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. The coastline is bordered by an assortment of islands through the Buccaneer Archipelago and the local rivers flow through amazing sandstone chasms into the sea. The fishing is world famous and the local wildlife including crocodiles is abundant. The Ord river irrigation system is another must see attraction as is the Bungle Bungle Mountains with their unique beehive shaped sandstone ramparts. The major centre in the Kimberley is the city of Broome and located here are quality motels and resorts as well as fine restaurants. The day can be completed with the famous camel ride along the beach. There is also a lot of historical interest in Broome with its past firmly rooted in the pearling industry.
The remainder of the state is known as the “Outback”. This vast region is home to a large slice of Australia’s huge mining wealth. Diamonds, Iron Ore, Gold, Uranium, Copper and many other precious metals are found here. Cities such as Kalgoorlie have thrived on the mining industry for over a century and are still productive today. Many of the outback regions demonstrate the true culture of the Australian persona and there are many wonderful things to see and experience if time permits. A motor home or campervan holiday is the ideal way to see this great state.
