Kalgoorlie

Exterior view of the historic Court Hotel on Burt Street, Boulder

See a city built on gold with a visit to Kalgoorlie. The golden outback’s capital is heritage-building rich and is A literal treasure trove, home to one of WA’s gold rush eras and one of the world’s richest gold deposits.

Head to the monstrous Fimiston Open Pit or commonly known as the Super Pit to see Australia’s largest open-pit mine that can be viewed from space!

See a different side of history by taking part in the locally-run Bush Ghoodu Wongutha Tours and get a glimpse into the Aboriginal culture within the region. Blush with pink with a unique tour into the world’s oldest working brothel where you will be only seduced with stories of Kalgoorlie’s colourful history!

Dunsborough

Dunsborough is a popular spot for the young and old.

Delightfully sandwiched between Eagle Bay and Busselton, the peaceful town is a great stepping stone to check out the South West’s most outstanding attractions including Margaret River wine region and surrounding national parks.

Head to Meelup Beach for a relaxing swim and the chance to see a moonrise over water night. Keen divers can also explore the HMAS Swan which was purposely sunk at the beach in 1996 and is now a thriving artificial reef. After a morning out and about, explore around town and check out the boutique stores and cafes.

Karratha

Be surprised with the Top End city Karratha.

Situated two-hours’ drive west of Port Hedland, Karratha is a city that is evolving with trendy outlets and modern facilities on the rise.

Use the city as a base to venture further afield, exploring the ancient rock engravings along Burrup Peninsula or cast a line at Cleaverville Creek, a much-loved fishing spot. Cool off with a dip at Hearson’s Cove, a short drive away.

Port Hedland

View Port Hedland in a different way past its industrial persona.

Bridging the Pilbara and the Kimberley, it is more than just a resource-rich town with ties to shipping and mining. Get your industrial geek (or chic?) on with a visit to BHP Iron Ore and Dampier Salt shipping area at Nelson Point.

See the town from above with a visit to the city’s lookout points, Town Observation Tower or Koomabana Lookout. See it from a biological perspective too exploring the tidal creels at Pretty Pool and Six Mile Creek and admiring the area’s native wildlife.

Receive an education along the Cultural and Heritage Trail, weaving Aboriginal and European history and visit the Dalgety House Museum for further historical insights into the region.
