Perth to Northbrook Farm: We leave the big city of Perth and head North via the National Highway Number 1 via Moore River National Park. We visit the Greenough wildlife sanctuary promoting conservation and animal rescue. Get up close to dingos, emus, orphan kangaroo joeys, saltwater crocodiles, handle lizards and even snakes. It's then the 2nd largest city in Western Australia; Geraldton, to visit the HMAS Sydney memorial lookout and learn about the colourful history of this area, before arriving at our accommodation for the night at the remote post of the Northbrook Farmstay. Special Information: Total driving time today is around 5.5 hours and approximately 470km. Total walking distance is approximately 2km.
Northbrook Farm to Exmouth: Today is a long day of driving (approximately 8 hours and approximately 750km in total). Leaving Karijini, The farm travel through the vast bushland and cattle stations of the Pilbara region. This sparsely populated region is known for its red earth and rich mineral deposits.
Exmouth: Depending on the season, today you'll have the option (at your own cost) to snorkel or scuba dive in search of whale sharks or manta rays, the largest rays in the world. If not, taking up one of the optional boat tours, perhaps visit Vlamingh Head Lighthouse, or soak up the sun on the pristine beach at Turquoise Bay. Explore the beauty of Cape Range National Park. This afternoon we'll take a short trip to beautiful Coral Bay. Special Information: Total driving time today is around 3.5 hours and approximately 300km. Total walking distance is approximately 2km.
Coral Bay: Enjoy a day of freedom and relaxation. If you didn't squeeze a snorkel in yesterday, today you get to; if you did, you get another one. Everyone wins. Ningaloo Reef is one of the world's largest fringing reefs, meaning that it starts practically from the water's edge. You just swim out from shore and suddenly you're in a world of coral, fish, turtles and manta rays. Swimming above these enormous, majestic creatures is really something else. Not much of a swimmer? There's also the option of taking in the scene on a glass bottom boat tour, along with many other optional activities. We'll introduce you to the friendly staff at Coral Bay Eco Tours. Special Information: There is no driving today, just a short walk to Coral Bay Eco Tours and water activities.
Monkey Mia: Today we cross over the Tropic of Capricorn. Main stop for the day is Shell Beach, which, much as name would suggest, is a beach made of shells. What's quite incredible about the place however is the amount of shells that there are. Locals have been using them in various industries for years, yet they still cover a stretch 60 km long and up to 7 metres deep. Tonight we stay in the Shark Bay region. Special Information: Total driving time today is around 6.5 hours and approximately 600km. Total walking distance is approximately 2km.
Monkey Mia to Kalbarri: This morning, check out Monkey Mia – part of the Peron Peninsula, which extends into part of the Indian Ocean known as Shark Bay. This popular spot is known for its world famous dolphins that have been frequenting the beach for decades. Afterwards, continue your road trip down the West Australian coast with a short drive across the Eastern Peninsula. See stromatolites, the oldest living organisms in the world, then head south for the Kalbarri National Park. Time permitting, there'll be a stop-off along the way at Murchison Gorge, where there's the opportunity to admire the landscape through Nature's Window and the Kalbarri Skywalk. Special Information: Total driving time today is around 5.5 hours and approximately 470km. Total walking distance is approximately 5km
Kalbarri to Perth: It's a driving day today, but a spectacular one. Cruising through the coastal gorges of Kalbarri National Park, we come to the quaint coastal town of Dongara, which sits at the head of the Irwin River. Visit Western Australia's own Pink Lake at Port Gregory. Head on to Sandy Cape (Lancelin), a vast sand desert peopled by the strange limestone structures of the Pinnacles Nambung National Park.
