Travel to Western Australia

 

 

Travelling to Western Australia is easy with access via land, sea and air.

Fly to WA

The State's capital, Perth, is Australia's western gateway.

Broome, in the State's North West, is also a major gateway to the attractions of the northern region, and enjoys good air access from southern capitals. Broome is also serviced with regular air services from the Northern Territory capital, Darwin, which lies approximately 1.5 hours east by air.

Perth Airport is the international and regional gateway to Western Australia located only 12 kilometres from the heart of Perth.

Within Australia

There are regular flights to Perth from all major Australian cities and from many regional locations within the State, making travel to Western Australia simple.

From Australia's east coast capitals, Perth is approximately four hours by air.

Western Australia's capital, Perth is easily accessible by air from around Australia and from many locations within the State.

Flights also operate to the popular town of Broome in Australia's North West from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Domestic airlines operating services to Western Australia:

QANTAS
Virgin Blue
Jetstar
Airnorth
Skywest Airlines (within Western Australia only).


Take the Train to WA

One of the most exciting ways to get to Western Australia is by rail. Perth is the western terminus for the legendary Indian Pacific rail service operated by Great Southern Rail, which spans the entire continent from sea to sea.

The three day trip is one of the world's great train journeys, and visitors can board the train in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide and travel across the country.

Departing from the East Coast, witness the beauty of delightful vineyards, river lands and the expansive, table-top flatness of the Nullarbor Plain, travel on through the goldfields, rolling wheat lands and the hills surrounding the
Avon River before pulling into Perth.


Drive to WA

Connecting WA to the rest of Australia, the Eyre Highway is one of Australia's great road trips. The highway extends from Port Augusta in South Australia across the Nullarbor Plain to Norseman.

The
Savannah Way is one of Australia's ultimate adventure drives, linking Cairns in Tropical North Queensland with the historic pearling town of Broome in Western Australia, via the natural wonders of Katherine in the Northern Territory.


Summer Cruising

During summer (November to February in the Southern Hemisphere), Perth, Broome, Geraldton, Exmouth and Albany feature on world cruise itineraries as part of Australian coastal cruise packages. This presents a range of opportunities to travel to Western Australia and explore the State by sea.
