    "What's to see in WA"? Glad you asked.

    G'day. Welcome to Western Australia.

    To help you decide where to go and what to do, I've made up some handy info to help you. The list isn't exhaustive, so feel free to add to it.

    Google the Regions and check out the websites and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Kimberley Region of WA
    East Kimberley Region of WA
    Pilbara Region of WA
    East Pilbara Region of WA
    Gascoyne Region of WA
    Murchison Region of WA
    Mid West Region of WA
    Wheatbelt North Region of WA
    Wheatbelt South Region of WA
    Central Wheatbelt Region of WA
    Midlands Region of WA
    Goldfields-Esperance Region of WA
    Perth WA
    Peel Region of WA
    South West Region of WA
    Great Southern Region of WA

    Some of these Regions overlap, because we're such a big place.

    Helpful websites include:
    www.mainroads.wa.gov.au
    www.dpi.wa.gov.au/
    www.transport.wa.gov.au/
    http://rac.com.au/Travel/Journey-planner.aspx

    We're much like your State in many ways. We have total fire bans, water restrictions, havest movement bans and vehicle movement bans (including vehicle movement bans for hoons - LOL ). We don't have daylight savings, and won't be for many, many years (because we had a referendum).

    We look forward seeing you visit WA and hope you enjoy your stay.

    Take care out there.

    I think the Kimberleys are a must see for any Australian into travelling.

    I have only been there once but would live there if i could....Must see again.

    Also, publication called "Western 4Wdriver" magazine published by Westate Publishers Pty Ltd in association with WILD TRAX put out a pretty good guide to WA's trips.

    Including brief descriptions, history of local area, photos, GPS co-ordinates and trip notes of relevant points (ie. gps coordinate xxx xxxx - turn left, bear right etc), phone numbers of relevant authorities ie. CALM etc

    The four publications i have are:

    - 4wd days out of perth 3rd edition (14 day trips)
    - Explore the Pilbara in your 4wd (20 trips)
    - 4wd days on the South Coast of WA (18 trips)
    - 4wd days in the Eastern Goldfields of WA (12 trips)

    these publications are available at most newsagents for around $15 and well worth the investment.

    easy to follow and trip notes are a bonus as most tracks are usually a rabbit-warren and overgrowth has caused tracks to disappear..
