| WESTERN AUSTRALIA |
 |
 |
| The wild and remote Kimberley is one of the world's last great wilderness areas. Its vast horizons, ancient gorges, weird rock formations, welcoming rock pools and golden beaches will linger in your mind long after your visit. A place of immense beauty, the Kimberley is like nothing else on earth. Here you'll also find the multicultural pearling port of Broome, known for its unique architecture with Chinese and Japanese influences. Ride a camel over the sands at Broome's world-famous Cable Beach. |
| The Western Australian Goldfields are a land of contrast. Here you'll find cosmopolitan Kalgoorlie with its giant goldmine and other towns rich in heritage and pioneering history, all set in vast expanses of spectacular saltbush arid country. |
| There are plenty of places to dive or snorkel along the Western Australian coastline. One of the highlights is a swim alongside the world's largest fish - the whale shark - which feeds at Ningaloo Marine Park. |
