Four Spectacular Road Trips Through Western Australia
                     Four Spectacular 
Road Trips Through 
Western Australia
The sheer scale of Western Australia makes it a world-class road trip 
destination. Peerless in its natural beauty, the state is also defined by 
its broad horizons, giving any long-distance journey a timeless, wind-in-
your-hair sense of adventure. And whether you’re steering along the 
coast in a campervan or rumbling through the wilderness of The 
Kimberley in a 4WD, that taste of quintessential Western Australia 
freedom comes guaranteed. Here are some of the top road trips in the 
state.
1. The Coral Coast Highway
For remarkable wildlife encounters you will be talking about over dinner 
for years, there is only one choice: the Coral Coast Highway. Stretching 
1,200km from Perth to Exmouth, the route clings to the coast as it 
winds north, taking in Jurien Bay for sea lions and Kalbarri for birdlife 
before ticking off two Unesco World Heritage areas: Shark Bay, famous 
for its dolphins and dugongs; and Ningaloo Reef, where you can spot 
the big three of whale sharks, humpback whales, and manta rays.
Overnight stops along the way will be fuelled by lobster shacks and 
rum tastings, while daytime adventures will include a flight over the 
shimmering pink waters of Hutt Lagoon, a skywalk over the dramatic 
gorges of Kalbarri National Park, and ancient stories and bushcraft with 
an Aboriginal guide in Monkey Mia.
2. Take a gourmet loop
You do not have to stray too far from Perth for adventure – particularly if 
you are a lover of quality food and drink. Just a short, three-hour drive 
gets you to the Margaret River wine region, renowned for its 
chardonnays and cabernets, while nearby towns Pemberton and 
Manjimup area prime source of truffles.
You will meet passionate producers surfing the waves and hiking along 
the coastal trails in the morning and warmly welcoming you in for 
tastings at the cellar door in the afternoon.
3. Wind along the magical Warlu Way
An ancient Dreamtime story tells the tale of a giant sea serpent, or 
warlu, which slithered out of the ocean and travelled across the arid 
lands of Western Australia, leaving waterways in its wake.
This awe-inspiring 1,540-mile road trip takes the legend as its guide, 
following the snake’s meandering route from Ningaloo Reef to Broome, 
via highlights such as Karijini National Park, the Burrup Peninsula and 
the Dampier Archipelago.
4. The South West Edge
The Valley of the Giants, Elephant Rocks, Twilight Beach – the 
sights along the South, West Edge sounds like destinations in a 
Tolkien novel. The route makes some pretty bold claims, including 
being home to some of the world’s largest trees and the southern 
hemisphere’s biggest gathering of wild orcas.
But this is certainly a route of superlatives, with one section – 
Lucky Bay, near Esperance – home to Australia’s whitest sands.
