Road trips from Perth
Road trips from Perth can mean anything from a short hop south to an epic cross-continental adventure.
Perth is a great place to start an Australian holiday. It’s the closest gateway to Australia from Europe, and the only city in Australia that has direct flights from London.
The Western Australian capital is a fun city in its own right, but there’s much more of this vast state to enjoy, and the best way to do so is hiring a car. Road trips from Perth can be leisurely if heading to the south-western corner of WA, or epic if heading north to the likes of Shark Bay and the Ningaloo Reef.
