Yanchep National Park Aboriginal Cultural Experience
Explore Yanchep National Park with an Aboriginal guide and learn how its bushland and wetlands have sustained First Nations communities. Hear how knowledge is shared through stories, listen to didgeridoo playing, and take part in hands-on learning with traditional tools.
This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience offers a perspective on Country that reaches beyond its scenery, connecting native landscapes with living cultural practices.
The Pinnacles, Nambung National Park
Discover the Pinnacles in Nambung National Park, where thousands of limestone pillars rise from pale desert sands. Explore this distinctive landscape and see how the formations vary in height and shape across the open terrain.
These weathered structures give the park its otherworldly, lunar-like character. Their stark silhouettes against the sand make this one of Western Australia’s most recognisable natural sights and a striking opportunity for photographs.
HMAS Sydney Memorial, Geraldton
Visit the HMAS Sydney Memorial in Geraldton, a place of remembrance for the 645 sailors lost when the Australian warship sank off the Western Australian coast in 1941. Spend time among its commemorative features and consider the lives represented here.
The memorial’s setting and symbolism give this coastal visit a reflective character. It connects Geraldton’s maritime history with a tragedy that remains significant to families and communities across Australia.
Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake
See the shifting colours of Hutt Lagoon, a highly saline lake on Western Australia’s coast. Its waters can appear pink, lilac or reddish, with the visible hue changing according to conditions and the time of year.
Pause to take in the contrast between the coloured water and the surrounding landscape. The lagoon’s appearance is a natural phenomenon rather than a fixed shade, making each view—and each photograph—dependent on the light and conditions.
Shark Bay and Shell Beach
Discover the coastal colours of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay region at Shell Beach. Walk beside clear blue water on a shore made not of sand, but of countless tiny white coquina shells.
Shell deposits here reach depths of up to ten metres, creating the beach’s bright, distinctive surface. The contrast between its pale shoreline and the bay’s vivid water reveals the unusual natural character that makes Shark Bay so memorable.
Wild Dolphin Viewing at Monkey Mia
Watch for wild dolphins at Monkey Mia, where these marine animals often swim close to shore in the morning. Take in the sight from the beach, with the clear waters of Shark Bay providing a striking setting for a wildlife encounter.
The dolphins are free-ranging animals, not performers, and their appearance cannot be guaranteed. That unpredictability is part of the experience: an opportunity to observe them on their own terms in their natural habitat.
Kalbarri Skywalk and Aboriginal Welcome to Country
Step onto the Kalbarri Skywalk for views into the Murchison River gorges, where red-and-white sandstone records the landscape’s long geological history. The viewing platform extends 25 metres beyond the gorge rim, roughly 100 metres above the river.
Experience a Welcome to Country with an Indigenous guide and hear stories of growing up on Country. Learn about local bushfoods, medicinal plants and regional social history from an Aboriginal perspective.
Celebratory Dinner and Drinks in Perth
Share a celebratory dinner and drinks in Perth with your fellow travellers. This hosted gathering offers time to swap stories and reflect on the coast, wildlife and national parks encountered across Western Australia.
Unlike a routine meal, the dinner is a shared farewell to the journey. Its appeal lies in the company: familiar faces around the table, conversation shaped by days on the road, and a relaxed close to the tour.
