Western Australia is brimming with wildlife and a captivating natural beauty. It's a place where you can explore patchwork wine regions, desertscapes, world-class beaches, ancient cultures and incredible natural formations, and step foot in places virtually untouched.
One of the best ways to experience this captivating part of Australia - the country's largest state - is on a self-drive adventure. So we've asked the team from leisure travel brand PriceBreaker to give us the five best road trips for your next WA getaway.
#1 Perth & Surrounds
Watch the cityscape disappear as you head into hills patterned with vineyards on a trip into Swan Valley. This easy drive from Perth (Indigenous name: Boorloo) offers a 32km loop through the region with plenty of opportunities to stretch your legs in galleries, breweries and cellar doors, or browse fresh produce.
Gourmet Tour
To enjoy the vineyards from a different perspective, you can take a return cruise through the upper regions of the Swan Valley on a gourmet tour. This includes a lunchtime grazing table at the renowned Sandalford Estate, followed by a wine tasting, live entertainment and desserts before your return cruise into Perth.
#2 Australia's Coral Coast
In the Coral Coast, red desert meets turquoise water where the ocean's gentle giants - whale sharks, humpback whales and more - can be found in a spectacular underwater paradise. On land, the rock formations are coloured like tapestries, and ancient gorges and wildflowers decorate the earth while the sky is adorned with an astonishing display of stars. Here you also have the opportunity to learn about thousands of years of Aboriginal history.
If you choose a road trip along the Coral Coast, here are several key attractions you should have in your itinerary, and how to best experience them.
