Western Australia is big in every way you look at it. It covers one third of Australia – a massive 2.5 million square kilometres – and it is big when it comes to natural beauty and diversity of attractions. In one part you can go four-wheel driving on rich red dirt in the Kimberley, while in another, you can ride some of the best surf in the country on idyllic beaches. You can visit Australia’s hottest town, Marble Bar, or stroll along a tree-top walk in the cool shade of towering trees.
