The sheer size of Western Australia and its diversity of landscapes, experiences and climates makes it the perfect road trip destination.
A new guide to exploring Western Australia has just been released, showcasing several potential road trips around the state.
The experiences begin in Perth, the state's cosmopolitan capital, heading south to discover premium food and wine, beaches, dramatic coastline, tall-timber forests and caves – or travelling north to World Heritage-listed Shark Bay and Ningaloo Reef, the rugged landscapes of the Pilbara and the Kimberley.
East of Perth, head to Kalgoorlie where gold rush history and outback characters can be discovered. Friends of mine have recently spent weeks exploring the back roads of the West, and have been loving every minute.
Here's a taste of what's on offer…
