Western Australia town and city guides

Read dozens of guides to Western Australian towns and cities, and start planning your trip, whether heading to Albany and Australind or Yallingup and York.

For such a huge state, it is rather strange that Western Australia only has one real city. Capital Perth is a sprawling mass of suburbia, and home to the vast majority of the Western Australian population.

Western Australian does have a collection of pretty interesting towns, however.

The majority of these are coastal, centred around their Indian Ocean beaches. But Western Australian towns also include outback mining settlements, rugged tropical outposts and forest hideaways.

Holiday to Western Australian towns

It’s possible to fit many of these Western Australian towns into a self-drive holiday. You can flit from heritage to beach time to lakeside retreats. Or from surf towns to wine region hubs to national park gateways.
