Check out our favourite road trips in Western Australia and start planning your school holiday adventure or weekend escape.

Passing farmland, ancient forests, desert plains, wineries, sheltered swimming bays, pods of dolphins, a Western Australia road trip has it all.

Our Western Australia road trip through the Margaret River takes you through its family-friendly vineyards, rugged coastline as well as the towns of Nannup and Busselton.

Or head along the South West route for mountains, kid-friendly swimming and arts and crafts.

Along an Indian Ocean Drive road trip you’ll meet seal lions in Jurien Bay, cruise along the Pinnacles Desert Dr loop and go sandboarding in Lacelin.
