Bradt - Western Australia

Beskrivelse

Discover the vast and diverse landscapes of Western Australia with this comprehensive guidebook by local expert Scott Dareff. Explore everything from stunning national parks to renowned vineyards across the state’s expansive regions.

An insider’s guide to Western Australia’s hidden gems beyond Perth.

Bradt's Western Australia is the first guidebook to truly focus on the long country roads, breathtaking national parks, and world-class vineyards that make up Australia's largest state. Scott Dareff, who has explored nearly all 137 administrative areas over the past five years, offers an exceptional perspective on one of the planet’s most remarkable wildernesses.

While many travellers think of Perth as the heart of Western Australia, Dareff points out that the real magic lies beyond the capital. For instance, Ningaloo Reef rivals the Great Barrier Reef in beauty and is easily accessible-you can simply walk from the beach right into the reef’s vibrant waters. The Burrup Peninsula features ancient rock art dating back 50,000 years, while Margaret River stands out as one of the world’s premier wine regions. Nearby, the towering karri forests boast some of the tallest trees on Earth.

This guidebook leverages Western Australia’s unique geography to help you craft unforgettable road trips through remote and spectacular locations. You won’t have to sacrifice comfort either, with advice on staying in air-conditioned accommodations, enjoying en-suite facilities, and dining at restaurants along the way.

Importantly, this is the first major guide to venture beyond the coastline and offer in-depth coverage of the Western Australian interior. For those seeking a distinctive adventure, this book makes the Outback accessible and affordable, debunking the myth that exploring Western Australia demands a four-wheel drive, a month off work, and a hefty budget.
