Embark on an extraordinary adventure in Western Australia next year
With the beginning of a new year, many are looking forward to the long weekends to plan their holidays. However, the fact of the matter remains – highways around Malaysia would likely be congested, making any form of local road trip an unpleasant experience. So why not head over to a different country?
The sunny climate of Western Australia has shaped some of the world’s most biodiverse landscapes making it a year-round holiday destination. No matter what time of the year, it is bound to be summer somewhere in Western Australia!
Easily accessible via a five and a half hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, Western Australia is the perfect getaway destination for working adults and families to enjoy during any time of the year. To get you started on your plans, here are our recommendations on the things you can do, in sunny Western Australia throughout 2020.
Enjoy lush natural sceneries
Western Australia has an extraordinary line-up of spectacular natural events and attractions. One of the most popular natural occurrences to experience is the wildflower season. Be sure to take the Northern Explorer Trail across the Coral Coast from June to September or the Perth Trail in September and October to witness a bloom of colourful wildflowers against the vast landscape.
For something out of this world, visit the Pinnacles Desert of Nambung National Park to feel as though you are walking on the moon as you follow the trail through the limestone coming out of the shifting sands.
Interact with diverse marine life
For a truly magical trip, don’t miss out on witnessing the marine life of Western Australia for memories that will last a lifetime.
Every year, the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, congregates along the Ningaloo Reef, offering visitors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with these gentle giants in the wide, open waters. For families looking to have a closer look at aquatic life, Monkey Mia offers visitors a unique chance to see wild dolphins in their natural habitat.
Indulge in the best gastro-experiences
As one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world, Western Australia has a wide range of fresh local flavours, succulent seafood, highly prized black truffles, handcrafted beers and world-class wines across nine sensational wine regions.
If you’d like a little something to remind you of Western Australia, make a stop at The Margaret River Fudge Factory for hand-made morsels of delicious home-made fudge. Don’t forget to also visit the Margaret River Chocolate Factory in several locations, including Swan Valley, Metricup (Margaret River) and Perth City.
Be immersed in an exciting and diverse culture
With a plethora of things to do and places to be, Perth’s lifestyle and culture offers something exciting for any traveller. Bathed in sunshine for an average of nine hours a day and enjoying a total of 131 perfect blue-skied days every year, Perth is officially the sunniest capital city in Australia.
Take advantage of the blue skies by wandering through Western Australia’s history, art and culture from the Perth Cultural Centre to the Northbridge Piazza. If you happen to like taking strolls, head on over to Kings Park, where you can learn more about the Nyoongar people and their history.
Also, keep an eye out for some iconic street art along Perth’s laneways, which were created by local, national and international artists.
