Western Australia

The largest state of Australia covers a third of the country. The size of Western Australia is approximately five times the size of Texas, USA.   

The capital, Perth, with a Mediterranean climate, has an average of eight hours sunshine per day. Winters are mild, but summers may get extremely hot – well above 40°C.  

If you drive north or east, you will experience the Outback and the fabulous colours of the red pindan.

Distance from larger cities:

Across the country - Perth to Sydney - approximately 4,110 km.

Perth to Adelaide - approximately 2,104 km.

Perth to Darwin - approximately 4,400 km.

As soon as you drive a couple of hours north or east of Perth, you will see the isolation and if you drive longer - the Outback.

Drive south and you will find lots of small towns. This is the part of Western Australia where it's more densely populated than the rest of the state.
