At Monkey Mia (850 kilometres or 530 miles north of Perth), wild dolphins have been dropping by for generations, garnering international fame. But Monkey Mia and the wider Shark Bay region have more than friendly mammals to offer. World Heritage-listed for its natural assets, this is a wild, arid landscape of massive skies and stiff ocean breezes. Striking ochre sand dunes dive into turquoise waters, emus splash in the shallows and dugongs raise babies in swaying seagrass. The world’s oldest living culture thrives, as do stromatolites, some of the world’s oldest living lifeforms. There’s European history here too, being the site of Australia’s first European landing in 1616, and even today, modern explorers will find much to discover about Monkey Mia and Shark Bay.
Perth is an urban oasis among the vast nature of Western Australia where you can embrace the best of both worlds.

One of Western Australia’s best known parks, with its scenic gorges though red and white banded sandstone and its soaring coastal cliffs. the park is over 186,000 hectares in size, and located at the lower reaches of the Murchison River and is one of the best places in the world to find ancient traces of the first life on land. Winter is wildflower season, when you can delight in the myriad of unique wildflowers that grow around the National Park’s inland gorges and coastal cliffs. All roads within the park are sealed and suitable for 2WD vehicles. The major geographical features of the park include the Murchison River gorge which runs for nearly 80 km on the lower reaches of the Murchison River.
Wedged between a bustling shipping port and a working fishing harbour, the port city of Fremantle, or ‘Freo’ to the locals, was historically Perth’s sister city. These days the two are connected by suburbia and a 25-minute train journey. Wander through the Unesco-listed streets here for convict history, funky street art, and al fresco cafes. It’s where high-end travellers rub shoulders with backpackers, because Freo is eclectic, creative, grungy and refined, with a coastal vibe all of its own. The streets buzz with the song of buskers, the sidewalks fill with a wild collection of art and the music that floats out from trendy cafés and bars.
Set high on the hill overlooking Geraldton, here you can reflect at the evocative HMAS Sydney Memorial and you can take in the astonishing views over the seaside township of Geraldton.

Also referred to as ‘living fossils’, stromatolites are living representatives of life over 3500 million years ago when there was no other complex life on Earth.
