The Green Trail, Goldfields
Linking in with the Golden Quest Discovery Trail, The Green Trail highlights sites in the Coolgardie bioregion with outstanding environmental, historical and cultural values. At each of these sites you will discover different landscapes, unique flora and fauna and learn about ancient aboriginal culture and European practices of the area.
Ferguson Valley, South West
For those wanting a refreshing change from the established gourmet valleys within Perth or the well-known valleys in the South West, then it’s worth exploring Ferguson Valley. Set in picturesque surroundings of rolling hills, the spectacular Ferguson Valley has much to offer for families, couples or any curious traveller. The alternative route allows you to visit quaint historic towns as well as picturesque WA farming landscapes which provide a welcome scenic change to the direct Forest/Bussell Hwy route.
Perth Hills Mundaring Trail
The forested hills and granite outcrops of the Darling Range provide Perth with a dramatic eastern backdrop visible from many parts of the metropolitan area. If it’s been a while since you explored those distant hills, the area has a surprising range of natural wonders. Most destinations in the Perth Hills are less than an hour’s drive from the centre of the city and all are an easy day trip from most parts of metropolitan area.
Perth to Coral Bay
If you’ve got a bit of extra time up your sleeve, why not head up to Coral Bay? Simple beach holidays are a rite of passage for most Australians and here in WA we’re blessed with an array of stunning locations in which to enjoy sun, sand and sea. This ultimate road trip winds its way from Perth to Exmouth, offering you every opportunity to immerse yourself in all that Australia’s Coral Coast has to offer.
Turquoise Coast Wheatbelt Roads
The Turquoise Coast is a relatively short distance north of Perth. This drive allows you to branch inland once you have discovered the Indian Ocean Drive. Explore what the Wheatbelt has to offer and even experience some glamping or farmstays on your return to Perth, via the Swan Valley.
