COME TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA!! :)
I have lived here all my life and I am biased LOL...Love it over here, wouldn't want to be anywhere else:)
Have a look at this website (I got all this from there)...lists heaps of things to do and see: Welcome to Western Australia - Tourism Western Australia We have the CORAL COAST
Beaches, exotic marine life, national reserves and the bluest ocean you’ll see anywhere in the world.This coastline region commence at Cervantes, where you’ll find the unique rock formations of the
Pinnacles and stretches as far north as
Exmouth, home of the internationally renowned
Ningaloo Reef, this amazing area is also great for diving and fishing all year round with a variety of spectacular reefs and marine life, white sandy beaches and warm turquoise waters. Inland is just as exciting, as carpets of wildflowers burst into colour during the wildflower season.The region offers amazing experiences and interactions with a variety of marine life, including meeting the dolphins of
Monkey Mia, sea lions, manta rays, dugongs and humpback whales. Australia’s Coral Coast is one of the few places in the world where you can swim with the world’s largest fish – the whale shark. Check out
Nature's Calendar for some suggestions of when to go.
We have the SOUTH WEST:
From
towering forests to
whale watching, fine food and wine to world class
surfing, Australia's South West offers some of the most varied travel experiences in Western Australia.
Margaret River and its surrounds are a popular destination for world-class wineries, top surfing and fun family holidays. Locals head here in winter too, responding to the lure of cosy log-fires, brisk walks along the beach, horse riding through the bush and mountains of delicious local produce.A huge draw for scuba divers is the
HMAS Swan Dive Wreck, also visible to snorkellers from above the ocean surface. The
Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory provides another amazing view of the colourful world beneath the water. (I grew up here in Busselton!! :) )
We have the NORTH WEST:
Australia's North West is one of the world's last true wilderness areas and home to
the Kimberley - the inspiration for 'Australia' the movie.The seaside town of
Broome forms the southern gateway to this spectacular region and offers up breathaking
Cable Beach - a 22km stretch of soft white sand and warm turquoise waters.From Broome, venture into red-earth country and experience an authentic Aussie outback adventure by
four wheel drive, take a scenic flight over extraordinary rock formations and magnificent waterfalls, or cruise through the inland waterways that permeate the region.Highlights of Australia's North West include the
Bungle Bungle Range, the rocky landscapes of
Karijini National Park, the many ancient gorges featured along the Gibb River Road, and
Lake Argyle - a mass of water large enough to be classified as an inland sea.
We have the OUTBACK (this is probably how you expect Australia to be like)
Vast clear skies and theatrical landscapes. True outback adventures, authentic Aboriginal encounters and visits to settlements built by goldrush pioneers.Images of the vast clear skies and theatrical landscapes of the Golden Outback region will stamp themselves forever in your minds eye.This is the place for true outback adventure. Driving becomes an activity in itself rather than a means to an end, and camping under the stars is a mystical experience.Look for tours offering authentic Aboriginal encounters in and around the mining towns and settlements built by goldrush pioneers. Or simply get into the laid back atmosphere of rural life among grandiose heritage buildings, friendly pubs and hospitable farmstays.
And then we have PERTH! (Where I live now)
All the essential ingredients for a great holiday. Some of the country's best beaches, plenty of nightlife, bustling markets, inner city parks, outdoor
dining and amazing marine adventures.Perth centres on Western Australia's capital of
Perth, which sits beside the widest stretch of the meandering
Swan River. Locals here enjoy a relaxed outdoors lifestyle, as does the neighbouring port city of
Fremantle, at the mouth of the Swan.The line-up of water-based fun includes boating, fishing and all dialogues of surfing. Fremantle's majestic historic architecture takes you back in time, while its marine heritage draws you to the ocean and a short ferry ride to
Rottnest Island.
