  • Day 1

    Perth

    Get to Kings Park before 9 AM to avoid the crowds. This 400-hectare urban park gives you great city views and showcases over 3,000 native plant species. Visit between July and September to see peak wildflower season when the kangaroo paws bloom. Remember to bring water and sunscreen since Perth's UV can be strong even on overcast days.

    
  • Day 2

    Perth to Kalbarri (6-7 hours)

    Leave early for your drive north to Kalbarri. The basic drive takes about 6 hours but plan for 7-8 to include rest stops and a visit to a local distillery. Pack some food since options are limited on this route. The road is good but it's a long stretch. You might want to stop in Geraldton to break up the journey.

    
  • Day 3

    Kalbarri National Park

    Spend today exploring Kalbarri's gorges and wildflowers. Get to the Kalbarri Skywalk when it opens at 7 AM before it gets hot. The skywalk stretches 25 meters past the edge and sits 100 meters above the Murchison River. Wear good shoes with grip since morning dew makes walkways slippery. Take a tour with an Indigenous guide to learn about traditional bush foods and medicines.

    
  • Day 4

    Kalbarri to Geraldton

    Travel south to Geraldton and stop at Hutt Lagoon's pink lake. Visit early or late in the day for the best colors. The lake looks different throughout the day depending on the weather and sunlight. Stop by the historic 1853 convict depot at Lynton Station. End your day watching sunset at the HMAS Sydney Memorial in Geraldton.

    
  • Day 5

    Geraldton Wildflower Tour

    Focus on seeing the region's special wildflowers today. The Midwest has over 12,000 species you won't find anywhere else in the world. Start at the Helen Ansell Art Gallery in Mullewa before exploring Coalseam Conservation Park. A local guide notes: "Bring a macro lens if you're into photography - the tiny details in these native orchids are incredible. The everlastings create carpets of white and pink as far as you can see."

    
  • Day 6

    Geraldton to Perth via The Pinnacles

    Drive south to Nambung National Park (about 4 hours) to see The Pinnacles Desert. Visit between 2-4 PM when the shadows look best among the limestone formations. Wear closed shoes since the sand is soft. It's about 2 more hours to Perth where you can arrive in time for dinner.

    
  • Day 7

    Perth

    Spend your last morning seeing more of Perth. Take an early walk on Cottesloe Beach or visit the Perth Botanic Garden if you missed it earlier. The airport is 20-30 minutes from the city center. If you're leaving during morning rush hour (7-9 AM) give yourself extra time.
