WHERE TO GO IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Each distinct region in Western Australia boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right. It would be just as easy to spend all your time exploring the south west coast’s vineyards as it would to use it discovering the marine life of the Coral Coast, or the Kimberley for remote adventures.
