Australia's west coast state may not have the instantly recognisable landmarks of the east, like Sydney Harbour or the Great Barrier Reef, but for those who prefer to take the road less travelled, the region offers myriad adventures amid some of the most stunning landscapes on Earth. From the rugged ranges of the Kimberley to the coral gardens of Ningaloo Reef, here are five top places to discover on a trip through Western Australia.
Discovering Perth
Western Australia's capital, Perth, is the gateway for most international visitors - and it offers a warm, Antipodean welcome, with average yearly temperatures of 23C and more hours of sunshine than any other Aussie city.
A string of urban beaches and the Swan River provide endless aquatic action by day, while at night Perth's neighbourhoods come alive with award-winning eateries and an exciting underground bar scene. Wander the galleries and museums, then join an Aboriginal guide on an immersive walk through the native trees at Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Rest up at Doubletree by Hilton Perth Waterfront (rooms from £193, hilton.com), then head to historic Fremantle, part of the wider Perth area, for a meander through its UNESCOlisted streets and century-old markets.
