The fastest way to get to Perth, the state capital and one of the most isolated cities in the world, is by a five-hour flight from Sydney or Melbourne. If you have time, you can take the Indian Pacific train that connects Sydney to Perth—a trip that lasts three full days!

About half an hour drive north of Perth is Swan Valley, the wine region of Western Australia. North of Swan Valley, is the Nambung Reserve, which has one of the most unique sights in the entire continent, a vast desert with thousands of pillars of limestone towering over the sandy ground.

It is also recommended to visit the Karijini National Park, where you will find deep canyons, hidden water pools, and huge waterfalls.

Throughout the journey in Western Australia, you will be accompanied by the feeling that you are traveling in unknown territory and it’s definitely worth the trip.

Shell Beach is located in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia. Denham is the only major city located in close proximity to the beach, and it takes around 30 minutes to reach it by car by riding down the Shark Bay Road.

Shell Beach stretches for kilometers and shells are between seven and ten meters deep. It became an extremely popular tourist attraction because it’s one of only a handful of beaches made up entirely of shells. The crystal clear water adds to its charm, and swimming is allowed.

The high salinity of seawater in the area kept natural predators at bay and made it possible for cockle shells to survive and thrive for thousands of years. That’s the explanation behind the great abundance of shells on this picture-perfect beach. They even formed a limestone known as coquina, which was mined and used for the construction of several buildings in the surrounding area.

If you find yourself traveling to Perth, be sure to add these three museums to your list of places to see.

Western Australia Museum

The Western Australia Museum is a deep dive into local history and culture in one of the most unknown and underappreciated parts of Australia. Currently closed while being renovated and improved, the Western Australia Museum is set to open its doors in the coming months as Perth’s premier museum.

Re-opening soon in November 2020!

Fremantle Prison

Just outside of Perth in the suburb of Fremantle is a World Heritage Site which showcases one of the strangest parts of Australia’s past. The island was once used as a penal colony for British prisoners, and the Fremantle Prison was one of the biggest in existence. Now it’s a museum and parts of its former cell blocks can be visited.
