The Indian Pacific is one of Australia’s quintessential rail journeys. The famous transcontinental crossing runs from Sydney to Perth or Perth to Sydney, through the Blue Mountains, outback New South Wales and South Australia, Adelaide, and across the celebrated Nullarbor.
Located on the far north east corner of Perth’s very own secret island hideaway, Discovery Rottnest Island is a must visit location for lovers of beach, sun and sand and (we think) is a great reason to add a visit to Perth to your Australia adventures. Arguably, provding the very best glamping experience in the state, with the highest category tents nestled right into the water front dunes of Pinky Beach, Discovery Rottnest Island has already become a regular summer haunt for these proud Perthites.
Rottnest Island – Perth’s picturesque playground. A short boat journey across the water to an island of beaches, bays, bicycles and barefoot relaxation. With captivating quokkas and surreal natural beauty, it is a beautiful destination for both Perth locals and visitors to WA.

In the furtherest corner of WA’s vast Kimberley region, Berkeley River Lodge is a luxurious hideaway on the shores of the sparkling Timor Sea. With stylish rooms, exceptional food and a wealth of outback adventures to be had, Australia’s most remote luxury lodge is a very special experience indeed.

When you are always looking forward to your next adventure overseas, it is sometimes easy to forget how much beauty and wonder is close to home. This weekend, we "borrowed" our niece to have an adventure in our own back yard - the town of Fremantle...
