They are not within easy reach of Perth, but because of their remoteness you will enjoy the fact that not many other people are there.
The state is so vast, it does take planning and time to get around. Perth is well worth exploring, as is Broome and the Kimberley in the North. The south west has Margaret River, known for its wines and gourmet experiences. The whole of the south west has wild coastal areas and National Parks that you could fit whole countries into.
Western Australia Beaches
With a coastline of more than 12,500 kilometres, the beautiful beaches here are amongst the best Australia has to offer and small islands abound.
The Western Australia wildlife is spectacular, from crocodiles in the north, to koalas, kangaroos, wallabees, emus and camels.
