Go West - Road Tripping With Flight Centre In Western Australia

Australia’s largest state is ripe for exploring – full of extraordinary wildlife, epic scenery and big adventures, it’s perfect for a road trip

There aren’t many adjectives that do justice to Western Australia. ‘Big’ somehow doesn’t encapsulate the state’s adventure-rich, map-hogging hugeness; ‘diverse’ doesn’t quite nail its impressive spread of activities, and ‘beautiful’ just doesn’t seem to capture the incredible natural scenery that bucks, yawns and ripples across the land.

‘Extraordinary’ fits well, though. Australia’s largest, and arguably loveliest, state is nothing if not extraordinary. The dynamic city of Perth is just the start of it. The state capital makes the perfect jumping off point to begin exploring the region on a road trip. In Western Australia, the wildlife is world-class, the roads are uncrowded and the food and wine are rightly raved about. That’s before we even get to the unspoilt joys of the landscapes themselves.

From white beaches, rusty red wilderness and crashing river gorges to towering forests, ancient sites and wildflower-covered plains, this is a destination primed for forging unforgettable memories on the road – and with Flight Centre, you can tailor-make your Western Australia journey of choice.
