Stardreamer 1 Posted April 4, 2004 Hi Aussies and everyone who visited West Australia! My hubby and I are planning our this year's vacation. We'll want to visit West Australia in October/november 2004. Of course we'll visit Perth, the Wave Rock, the Pinacles and Monkey Mia. Are there any other places you would recommand? Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starsinmyeyes 0 Posted April 6, 2004 Haven't been to WA yet but these are the places I always file away for future reference when I see them on travel shows. Trouble is that there is so much to see and WA is such a huge state. Snorkelling with the whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef. Exmouth Geralton Rottnest Island to see the quokkas. You can spend the day cycling on the island. Margaret River Albany Kauri forests- can't remember where they are. stromolmites- Carnarvon? Maybe the rains will be kind enough and some wildflowers will still be on show. Let's hope so. Western Australia Tourism website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Hi there I live in Western Australia and I have travelled around most of it. I would recommend visiting the following places: Perth The Ningaloo Reef Monkey Mia The Kimberleys (in the far north of WA) Kalbarri (about two hours north of Geraldton) Mt. Augustus (a huge and spectacular mountain) Wittenoon (there are lots of spectacular gorges there) Rottnest Island (I have never been there but I have heard its a great place to visit) The South West of WA is beautiful, especially Margaret River, Yallingup, Walpole, Manjimup, Denmark and Albany. You will love Western Australia! Madam Captain out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Western Australia Tourism website Hi there I live in Western Australa and I have been to most of the places on your list. I had to laugh when I saw that you had Geraldton on your list. I went to highschool in Geraldton and I wouldn't recommend it as a holiday destination. However, that is just my opinion and I guess if you have never been there before, it might be different. I haven't been snorkelling on Ningaloo Reef with the whale sharks but I know lots of people who have and they said it was absolutely fantastic. The stromatolites are actually near Monkey Mia (not Carnarvon). I have been there once before and they were quite fascinating. I am from Carnarvon originally and there are heaps of great places around there to visit too. The wildflower season has usually ended by October/November, which is when Stardreamer is planning to visit Western Australia. The wildflower season starts in about June/July if there has been enough rain for them to grow. I have seen some spectacular wildflowers in previous years.
