Welcome to Western Australia
Western Australia is home to otherworldly beaches, spectacular islands, the world’s happiest animal – the quokka – and some of Australia’s most premium wine regions. And that’s just for starters. From Perth (Boorloo) and Fremantle’s (Walyalup) cultural adventures and the immersive wilderness of the Kimberley region, to the artisan food and wine scene of the Margaret River Region and the stunning coral gardens of Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu), the wonderful west coast state is a truly dreamlike destination to explore.
Thanks to our trusted partner, Qantas Airways, Western Australia has never been more accessible. With daily flights from London to Perth, the best of Australia starts with Qantas. With friendly Australian service, spacious cabins, locally-inspired cuisine, self-service snack bars and excellent inflight entertainment, you’ll find flying Qantas is worth every moment. Plus, with Qantas’ unrivalled domestic network, you can discover even more of Western Australia, from the bustling beach-side cities to the stunning outback.

Perth
This sun-soaked seaside city is nestled between wineries, national parks, and 19 world-class Indian Ocean beaches. It’s also the sunniest capital city in Australia. Whether you’re cruising the gleaming Swan River (Derbarl Yerrigan), exploring Kings Park (Kaarta Koomba) with an Aboriginal guide or enjoying fresh oysters at Elizabeth Quay, you’ll likely have blue skies overhead. Don’t miss Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), a car-free nature reserve, just a 25-minute ferry from Perth’s port city, Fremantle. This is the perfect place to start your Australian adventure.
Western Australia offers boundless natural adventures – there truly is something for everyone. Here are just a few of the state’s must-do highlights.

From snorkelling safaris along the Coral Coast to the snow-white beaches of Perth, Esperance and Margaret River, Western Australia’s coastline is a joy to behold. Here, you can escape to Indian Ocean islands, such as the Abrolhos and Rottnest, or seek out clifftop trails leading from one historic lighthouse or seaside town to the next. Thanks to its size, it’s always summer somewhere in Western Australia, so you’ll be happy if you’re seeking a golden glow.

Animal encounters are a key ingredient for an unforgettable visit to Western Australia. Along the Ningaloo Coast you can see and swim alongside whale sharks, turtles, dolphins, manta rays and humpback whales. Stay on dry land and it’s echidnas, eagles and rare black-footed wallabies in the Cape Range National Park. Closer to Perth, you can see wild dolphins and sea lions in Rockingham, kangaroos in Yanchep National Park and adorable quokkas on Rottnest Island.

The state has a laid-back vibe and plenty of adventures on, under or by the water, but there’s more to Western Australia than relaxing days at the beach. Perth’s a cosmopolitan capital with galleries, theatres and lively cafés lining the Swan River. Head south and Fremantle has a thriving art and cultural scene among heritage-listed pubs and West End warehouses, now home to creative restaurants and craft breweries. Continue southwest and it’s Mandurah’s (Mandjoogoordap) dolphin-frequented canals and seafood that make it a magnet for travellers, while Margaret River’s markets and vineyards are a haven for foodies and wine buffs. And if you fancy a two-and-a-half-hour flight north you’ll find yourself in Broome, where the outback meets the ocean at the western entrance to the beautifully untouched Kimberley wilderness.
