Experience Western Australia
Our favourite things to see and do
Fremantle – A port city just 30 minutes from Perth.
Known for its eclectic mix of arty and alternative types, the
streets are buzzing with buskers, wild collections of art and
trendy cafés and bars. Be sure to check out Little Creatures
Brewery, set on the waterfront, with award-winning craft
beers and ales brewed on-site.
Food and Wine – Western Australia is home to nine
beautiful wine regions, each with their own special
characteristics, including the popular Margaret River and
Western Australia’s oldest wine growing region, the Swan
Valley. Be sure to try a tasting tour of the cellar doors for
perfect pairing of restaurants as well as boutique breweries.
Perth is well known for its restaurant and bar scene, with
more restaurants per capita than any other capital city in
Australia, so you are spoilt for choice.
Whale Watching – Western Australia has one of the
longest whale watching seasons in the world, with seven
months (May-Dec) of viewing. Humpback, southern right
whales and the rare blue whale migrate annually from the
Southern Ocean to the north Kimberley coast. The best time
to see these beautiful creatures is at midday, when the sun
is directly overhead.
Wildflowers – With o ver 12,000 species of wildflowers
in Western Australia, this is the world’s largest collection
of wildflowers. See these beautiful carpets of colour for six
months of the year, from June in the north to November in
the south. Check out the very best of the wildflowers every
September in Kings Park Botanical Garden, Perth .

Staircase to the Moon – Witness this natural
phenomenon between March and October each year. When
conditions are just right, watch the full moon rise over the
exposed mudflats of Roebuck Bay at extremely low tide, this
creates the illusion of a staircase to the moon.
