Western Australia is the largest of the 6 states in the country, covering 1/3 of it. This land mainly consists of a dry, open desert with plateaus and mountain ranges.
Yet, it is also home to vineyards, caves, and beaches along the Indian Ocean. So, if you are wondering if you should travel there in the future, the answer is definitely yes!
Perth (pictured above), a huge metropolitan area on the coast of Western Australia, is worth stopping at. Inside of this area is the international airport, historical sites, museums, a planetarium, retail shopping, arcades, dining, bars, nightclubs, rum distilleries, parks, and much more.
More specifically, the top sights include:
- King’s Park and Botanic Garden
- The Bell Tower
- Adventure World
- Caversham Wildlife Park
- Scarborough Beach
- Mundy Regional Park
- Caversham Wildlife Park
- Carnac Island

Another option would be the town of Margaret River. Located south of Perth, it is known for the production of wine, as well as, its surfing locations along the coast. Some note-worthy spots would be:
- Meelup Beach
- Point Piquet

A great location for exploring the Outback would be the region known as the Kimberley. It is at the very top of the country, bordering the northern territory. It has several breathtaking sites all throughout, such as gorges, rock pools, beaches, and waterfalls. However, you will either need to take a guided tour, which can last between 2 days and 2 weeks, or use a 4WD vehicle, due to the uneven terrain.
