The river feels more like a winding harbour really with <strong>Fremantle<\/strong> (Freo to the locals) at its entrance. Perth has all you&#8217;d expect from a thriving city with great shopping, restaurants and nightlife combined with superb beaches and a very cheap local rail system. The weather is perfect for most of the year with warm winters and hot summers cooled by the &#8216;<strong>Fremantle doctor<\/strong>&#8216; sea breeze that comes through most afternoons. It&#8217;s perfect for water sports enthusiasts with surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing all very popular. For me it&#8217;s the nicest city in Australia as the pace of life is a little less hectic than in its eastern counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting day trip is to <strong>Rottnest Island<\/strong>, 20 miles or so off the coast near Perth.

Climb the <strong>Gloucester Tree<\/strong> fire lookout (not for the faint hearted &#8211; 65m of stakes in the side of the tree with no safety net!) and take a ride along tracks through the forest alongside the Blackwood and other local rivers.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Valley of the Giants<\/strong> und <strong>Tree Top Walk<\/strong> near <strong>Walpole<\/strong> have amazing examples of the huge trees in the area, even affording you the opportunity to actually walk in the canopy along specially designed walkways 40 metres from the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Albany is surrounded by beautiful National Parks with incredible coastal scenery. <strong>Torndirrup National Park<\/strong> has the <strong>Gap<\/strong>, <strong>Natural Bridge<\/strong>, <strong>Blowholes<\/strong> and Whale museum. The beaches are even better with sand so white and pure that it squeaks when you walk on it. This gives the water an amazingly inviting turquoise hue. You could spend two weeks in this area and not see it all, but a couple of very busy days is enough to see the main highlights if you are short of time.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/bikeroundoz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wa_stirling-ranges.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;wa_stirling ranges&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The last coastal stop in the South West is <strong>Esperance<\/strong>. You may think you&#8217;ve seen some incredible coastal scenery on the way but Esperance is consistently voted as having the best beaches in Australia and you&#8217;ll see why when your jaw drops to the floor whilst standing at any of the lookouts along the coastal tourist drive west of town. Bays of empty white sand with perfectly blue water and huge granite boulders have you wondering why on earth this place isn&#8217;t more popular. You may only be 5km from town with a 3km pristine beach in front of you with perhaps half a dozen people in sight. It&#8217;s astonishing and I love it &#8211; just don&#8217;t tell anyone else it&#8217;s there!<\/p>\n<p>The south west is not immediately spectacular but explore a little and you&#8217;ll soon discover why people talk so passionately of it. Take the best bits of quiet holiday spots around the world, put them together and this is what you&#8217;ll get. I&#8217;d advise you visit before too many people find out about the place!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;#ffffff 0%|#474747 100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||35px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Inland Western Australia is for the most part, an inhospitable place consisting of mostly arid desert.
