Western Australia Interior & Coast - 9 Days

This afternoon, we meet your Tour Directors before setting off on a guided city tour, including a visit to Kings Park, a tranquil green space offering panoramic views over the CBD and, in season, striking displays of native wildflowers.

We travel east through John Forrest National Park, stopping in the historic town of York to explore the York Motor Museum's extensive collection of vintage vehicles. We continue on to Hyden, home to Wave Rock - a striking, 15-metre-high granite formation known for its vivid colours, with Aboriginal rock art estimated to be over 3,000 years old nearby.

We continue our journey into the Goldfields, passing through Coolgardie en route to Kalgoorlie-Boulder, where mining history comes to life with a visit to the Super Pit, one of the largest open-cut gold mines in the country.

We head south through Kambalda and Norseman as the landscape gives way to the coastline of Esperance, often lined with seasonal wildflowers along the way. On arrival, we explore the Great Ocean Drive, an iconic coastal route taking in dramatic headlands, aquamarine bays and white-sand beaches.
