Western Australia

The first guidebook focused on Western Australia's remote roads, stunning national parks, and world-class vineyards.

Local resident Scott Dareff has explored almost all of the state's 137 administrative areas over the past five years, bringing extraordinary insight into one of the world's great wildernesses. While travellers often associate Western Australia with Perth, the real magic lies beyond the capital. Ningaloo Reef rivals the Great Barrier Reef but is far more accessible—you can simply walk off the beach into the water and find yourself among its reefs. The Burrup Peninsula showcases rock art dating back 50,000 years, while Margaret River ranks among the world's finest wine regions, surrounded by karri forests containing some of the planet's tallest trees.

This guidebook harnesses Western Australia's unique geography to help you plan unforgettable road trips through spectacular remote locations without sacrificing comfort. Enjoy air-conditioned accommodation, en-suite facilities, and excellent restaurants throughout your journey. Better still, this is the first major guidebook to venture inland, offering comprehensive coverage of the Western Australian interior that goes far beyond the coast.

Whether you're seeking something truly different, this book makes the Outback accessible and affordable, dismantling the myth that exploring Western Australia requires a four-wheel-drive, a month off work, or a substantial budget.
