Australia as a country is over 7 million square kilometres; Western Australia represents nearly 30% of that area with less than 10% of the population. As you are travelling throughout the state there are going to be loads of long roads and open spaces, so to see it properly you are going to need lots of time, and often a 4WD vehicle. Western Australia is effectively divided by the Tropic of Capricorn, which separates the tropical North from the Mediterranean style south. Depending upon what you want to see and how you want to travel you can use this longitudinal line to help plan your travels. North of the Tropic has 2 basic seasons, the Wet and the Dry. Both seasons offer different sights and experiences and it is important to know what you want from your visit, as it will determine the time of year you should visit. During the Dry Season (May to October) the North is at it's peak accessibility and offers a wide range of activities from the giant whale sharks and spectacular diving of the Ningaloo Reef near Coral Bay and Exmouth, to the world famous Gibb River Road and the gorges and artwork of the Kimberley Region. This is when our tours from Broome to Darwin and Darwin to Broome are at there busiest and should be booked well in advance.
During the Wet Season or Tropical Summer (November-April) the North enters its monsoon season and transforms a dry lifeless area into a lush tropical region full of life and dominated by powerful storms and flooding rivers. The 4WD roads are generally closed and accessibility to the Kimberley is restricted. However, South of Tropic is into its peak summer season. The region to the south west of Perth is warm and full of long white beaches, world class wineries and unique West Australian Fauna. These areas include Margaret River, Bunbury, Walpole and Esperance as well as the Tall Tree forests and Wave Rock. Perth itself is full of life, with its beach lifestyle, summer activity and many fascinating sights and sounds is fast becoming the preferred entry into Australia from Europe and beyond. It is also a great starting point for those thinking of travelling beyond Western Australia. To the north of Perth during Nov-Apr you can experience many different national parks and world heritage regions all offering a range of exquisitely beautiful walks and swimming beaches. These areas include Kalbarri National Park, Coral Bay, Exmouth and the world famous dolphins at Monkey Mia as well as much, much more.
Western Australia is huge, of that there is no doubt and to see it properly you will need two things, time and money. However if you are travelling with limited time and a serious budget then joining a tour in Western Australia is the answer.
Not only can you see more of Western Australia then you would by yourself within a limited time frame, but also you travel with an experienced guide. This is very important as it is one thing seeing Western Australia, it is another thing understanding it. For example, in Australia there are over 200 Aboriginal languages with close to 500 dialects, and the paintings you can experience will vary as much as the architecture varies throughout Europe. Now if you do not understand this variation then you are really missing out on the rich diversity of Aboriginal culture and Western Australia is one of the best places to see and experience this. The same goes for the plants and the animals, some of which are not found anywhere else in the world. For example did you know that Australia is home to 2 of the 3 Monotreme mammals found on our planet, the Echidna and the Platypus. Do you know what a Monotreme mammal is? Our guides do. All of our tours are Eco-based Adventure tours so you will finish the tour with a better appreciation of why Western Australia is fast becoming the leading destination within Australia for the Adventure seeker. All tours include accommodation/camping facilities and meals so your energy is focused on seeing the region, not on where to stay and how to get there. Price wise they are unbeatable as you are doing more activity in less time. Most trips will come in at between A$105-A$140 per day which includes everything except the cold beer at the end of a hard day. |
