Honker 2nd Gear December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 After seeing some of the seniors comments here, I decided to give WA a try. Just came back from an awesome trip from Western Australia, I must say it is trip I will never forget. Lovely place, with nice people, nice beaches, nice mountains and breath taking landscape of the nature. Thought I share the highlights here for all to view. Went to: Perth: Blue Boat Shed, Casino and Kmart Shopping { https://watravelblog.com/attractions/crown-casino-perth/ } Fremantle: Rottnest Island (Must Go), Kaili's fish market and harbour Lancelin: Beautiful stop over at Verge 301, and of course Lancelin Sand Dune for sand boarding. { https://watravelblog.com/attractions/lancelin-sand-dunes/ } Burnbury: Wildlife Park( great chance to have lots of contact with kangaroos ) Mandurah: For the wrong reason though, son got sick, sent him to the hospital there (waiting time is like 3 hours just to take a blood test) Busselton: Busselton Jetty of course! Dunsborouh: Whale Watching (not so nice though), Sugarloaf (Must Go), Cape Naturaliste lighthouse Augusta: Cape Leeuwin and Hamelin Bay (for their wild stingrays which swim to the shore line) { https://watravelblog.com/attractions/cape-leeuwin-lighthouse/ } Margaret River: Chocolate factory, animal farm, winery and lots of drive around { https://watravelblog.com/attractions/sunflower-animal-farm/ } Denmark: Green Pool, Elephant Rocks and Valley of Giants and Albany: Two People Bay, The Gap, Natural Bridge, Blowhole, wind farm and Emu point {https://watravelblog.com/attractions/things-to-do-in-albany/ } I missed Esperance and Pinnacle as I really did not have the time to go so many places. Anyway, I created a website to pen down all my adventures, tips and advice. Still in the making so only 10 pages or so. More to come when I have more time to write down. https://watravelblog.com/ ↡ Advertisement 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 I drove Great Ocean road before... still wondering what's so great about it! Maybe I didn't drive far enough beyond Port Campbell. The scenery is so so, there are many other better roads like Taiwan east coast, road to Milford Sound etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinelli_ck 6th Gear December 5, 2017 Share December 5, 2017 is the SF-LA Highway 1 better or this one? I suaku, never been to both lol. the Pacific Coast Highway aka California State Route 1 is more appealing, especially the section between San Luis Obispo and Monterey. do check out Big Sur if you plan to embark on a road trip there one day.
