We’ve spent years exploring every corner of Western Australia in our bus Bunji, and these 9 routes from Perth showcase the absolute best of the state. From swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef to driving on the whitest beach in Australia, these trips cover the iconic bucket-list experiences and the hidden gems most people…
As Perth locals, Busselton (Busso) has been a go-to for YEARS. Most people know it for the jetty (iconic), but there’s actually heaps to do here once you slow down a bit! It has epic snorkelling, a great family-friendly vibe, and some seriously good food. Plus, Margaret River is sitting right there if you want…
Wave Rock is a great weekend escape from Perth that doesn’t involve heading south to Margaret River for the hundredth time. This weekend itinerary takes you through WA’s historic Wheatbelt, past quirky roadside attractions, and drops you right at the base of that famous 15-metre granite wave. Road trip snapshot Day 1: York (Friday Afternoon)…
WA is one of the best places in the country for a road trip. But the state is absolutely MASSIVE, and the best route depends a lot on the season. And after road-tripping all over Western Australia since 2020, we’ve realised it’s so easy to waste time, choose the wrong route, or try to cram…
Esperance has some of the BEST beaches in Australia. We’ve been there 4 times over 5+ years road-tripping the country, and we still can’t get enough of it! But it’s not a place you can just show up and wing it. It’s very remote, and the weather makes a huuuge difference (talking from experience). So,…
Karijini is one of the most spectacular spots in Australia, and it has over a dozen gorges… so we were very overwhelmed the first time we visited. We didn’t know where to start or what to prioritise. And turns out, every gorge is its own experience. Some are veeery easy to get to and are…
We’ve done the big lap twice, and believe us when we say that the stretch from Melbourne to Perth is one of the most incredible in all of Australia! You have the opportunity to tick off some truly iconic road trips: Great Ocean Road, Kangaroo Island, Eyre Peninsula, the Nullarbor, the Southwest… with all the…
After doing the big lap twice, we reckon the stretch from Adelaide to Perth is one of the most spectacular (and underrated) road trips in Australia. You’ll go from wild beaches through sheer cliffs into ancient forests, cross a time zone, and tick off some gems most Aussies never get to. This isn’t the quickest…
Driving is hands down the best way to get to Margaret River from Perth. The drive is easy and takes ~3 hours with no stops, which is quick by Western Australian standards! You can leave Perth after breakfast and arrive at Margaret River in time for lunch. You can also stretch the journey and stop…
We’ve been living on the road for the past 3 years, and of all the places we’ve explored, nothing compares to the variety of landscapes found in Western Australia. It’s the biggest state in the country, which is both a blessing and a curse. There are dozens of things to see and do, but some…
