Category: Best of WA
From epic beaches to rugged gorges, world-class wine regions, burnt red earth and pink salt lakes, there is so much to see and do in Western Australia!
One of the oldest, most diverse and sparsely populated landscapes in the world, Western Australia is the biggest state in Australia. Covering 2.5 million square kilometres it is shared by a population of 2.8 million. That is almost one-third the size of the USA or all of Western Europe! So, if you like your own space, there’s plenty of it to go around.
Each region and town has its own character. You can ride a camel at sunset on Cable Beach or surf big-wave breaks at Margaret River. Bask on the whitest sand beach with a kangaroo at Lucky Bay and hand-feed wild dolphins at Monkey Mia. And swim with whale sharks at the planet’s largest fringing coral reef, Ningaloo.
Our local guides below include the best of this raw and isolated region of Australia. Plan your next trip with our insider tips and hints on how to get the most out of your holiday in this incredible state of Western Australia.

Hi, I'm Lisa
As a passionate photographer and foodie, I’ve always loved the idea of living locally and making the most of what’s around me. I’m proud to call Perth home - a city I’ve lived in for over 20 years, and I’m constantly surprised by how much there still is to discover. In 2021, I started sharing my photos and recommendations on social media, and that’s how Perth Local was born. Since then, the community has grown to over 150,000 followers on Instagram and 35,000 on TikTok.
Perth was recently ranked the sixth most liveable city in the world, and I couldn’t agree more. Through my guides and website, I hope to help others uncover what makes this city and the broader state of WA such an incredible place to live or visit.
