If you’re looking for an authentic Australian holiday experience then visit Western Australia. One third the area of Australia, Western Australia offers a range of unique, natural experiences including marine, wine and food, forests, wildflowers and outback adventure which will leave you feeling relaxed and revived. It is renowned for its laid back lifestyle and friendly locals.

Capital city Perth is situated on the Swan River, just a 20 minute drive from the sparkling Indian Ocean and some of the best beaches in Australia. A number of inner city parks add to the easy-going, nature-based feel. Overlooking the city, Kings Park is Perth’s 400 hectare pride and joy, presenting a mix of untouched bushland, botanic gardens, walkways and grassy lawns. Enjoy an impressive wildflower display in spring or the outdoor cinema in summer. Perth is also just a short distance from world class golf courses, the Swan Valley with its tempting wineries, gourmet cafes and arts and crafts, the character and cosmopolitan charm of port city Fremantle, as well as the turquoise waters and pristine beaches of Rottnest Island.

Western Australia has around 12,000 species of wildflowers - many of which are unique to the State. Best time of year to see this fascinating natural treasure is from July to November, with blooms beginning in the north and moving further south as the weather warms up. Carpets of everlastings are a real spectacle in specific areas around September.

The State offers some of the most unique and diverse marine experiences in the world. There’s 12,500km of coastline to explore, including the chance to swim with dolphins, manta rays and the world’s biggest fish, the whale shark. Whale watching is also a popular activity which is available at many places along the coast.

In the South West corner you’ll find world class culinary delights, including freshly caught seafood, fine wine, cheese and chocolate. The Margaret River wine area has a reputation for superb premium world class wines, matched by quality gourmet food created from the freshest local produce.

Western Australia is home to some of the most amazing natural wonders too, including the World Heritage Listed Areas of Shark Bay and Purnululu National Park. See wild dolphins up close and marvel at ancient and mysterious land formations. Its vast and untouched outback guarantees clear air and blue skies. Stars absolutely blaze at night, creating an inspiring sky show.

With such a variety of unique experiences and landscapes, Western Australia is the perfect holiday destination for a real Australian experience. For more information visit westernaustralia.com.
