Western Australia is a very big state and this trip covers some serious distances. On some days of the trip you will spend several hours driving, often through very sparse areas of desert. Sit back and enjoy the landscapes. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. Think of it as a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie. Please read the itinerary for details on estimated drive times and specific logistical information.
Our leaders are the classic do-it-all Aussie – they know the best spots to watch the sunset, will drive you to your next destination, take you on a hike and even whip up dinner. Please be aware they will be juggling many things on your tour, and they will always be working hard to ensure you and your group have a fantastic time exploring Western Australia.
