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.

Click on the tiles below the Western Australia map for more details on each holiday destination. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

The best time to visit Western Australia varies by region.

The northern region has a distinct wet and dry season, so for holidays north of Perth the best time to visit is from April to October when the weather is dry and not too hot. For holidays to, or south of Perth, the best time to visit is during the Australian summer months of November to March.
