An otherworldly blend of nature, wildlife, history, culture and coastlines…
The epic South West Edge meanders along otherworldly coastlines, and through premium wine regions and towering forests before looping across the golden outback.
This iconic Western Australian journey is simply unmatched in its sheer scope of experiences. Visit art galleries and organic wineries. Indulge in delicious local cuisine and fresh produce. Get up close with native wildlife like kangaroos, orcas and whales or hear Dreamtime stories from your Aboriginal guide.
Hike through pristine national parks and pause for a moment in the stillness of an ancient cave. Soak up the sun on dreamy beaches or pretend you’re a castaway on a remote island wilderness. Even take to the sky to soar over a bubble gum pink lake.
Western Australia’s golden outback stretches far
It covers just over half of Western Australia. From the rugged red north to the jewel of the pristine southern coast, Esperance. From the historic outback goldfields of the east, to the charming farm stays and spectacular wildflowers of the western wheatbelt.
Along the way you will discover spooky ghost towns, true outback pubs, and a tin horse highway. Walk in the world’s largest outdoor art gallery at Lake Ballard, surf one of Australia’s biggest inland ‘waves’ at Wave Rock, or hike mammoth Mount Augustus. See epic modern mining or step back in time to learn about early Gold Rush life in Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Experience otherworldly landscapes from dazzling salt lakes and sweeping outback plains, to rugged rocky outcrops and wildlife-filled woodlands. In Esperance, walk coastal trails, witness a bubble gum pink lake and discover Australia’s whitest beach, Lucky Bay. Encounter migrating whales and playful dolphins. Meet friendly sunbathing kangaroos and see emus, plus dingoes, numbats, bilbies and more. And in Spring, watch wildflowers found nowhere else on Earth bloom to life as the warm weather shifts across the region.
The South West region is one of 36 biodiversity hot-spots in the world. Hike world-class coastal trails, lose yourself in giant karri forests or feel the stillness of an ancient limestone cave. Take a boat cruise to watch graceful humpback whales or board a research vessel to a remote ocean canyon to see spectacular wild orcas.
