Kimberley Moon Experience |
Explore Western Australia this WA Day
Make the most of WA Day and plan a long weekend holiday.
Recently renamed by the WA State Government from Foundation Day, WA Day is the
perfect chance to experience extraordinary Western Australia. This year WA Day sees an
extended weekend from Saturday 2 June to Monday 4 June. Take a day trip or get
away for the three-day weekend. Events taking place include the Kimberley Moon
Experience (part of the Ord Valley Muster), The York Gourmet Food and Wine
Festival, Whale Song Augusta,Leonora Golden Gift, the Albany Classic Motor
Event and the Pinjarra Festival. Foundation Day traditionally recognised the
arrival of European settlers; the renaming acknowledges WA's indigenous people
as its original inhabitants and custodians, and unites all who have made WA
their home, including those who have migrated to WA from around the World.
Chase the sun to Australia's North West
Australia's North West |
Considered one of the World's last true frontiers, Australia's North West is a vast wilderness with epic
landscapes of red rock, white beaches, waterfalls and gorges, and a rich
Indigenous culture and history. And, while much of the country prepares for winter,
the North West
enters its dry season - characterised by warm sunny days and balmy nights, it's
the perfect time to visit. This year's season opening is celebrated with a
number of inviting travel deals - see the Tours
and Accommodation section below for details.
