The Perfect Western Australia Road Trip

What you’ll do

It was such a dream to be back in beautiful WA for our 2 week Western Australia road trip.

WA beaches are my favorite, there’s really nowhere else that has such stunning coastline, but we also got to experience so many other incredible places on this trip including Albany, Rottnest Island, Esperance, Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef..

Visiting in the autumn is a great time to explore the region because it’s not too hot but the water was still a perfect temperature to swim in.

If you’re short on time but really want to see the best of WA, use this Western Australia road trip itinerary to help you plan the perfect trip!

After picking up our 2berth Britz Campervan from Perth Airport, we headed straight out on the road towards Hyden and Wave Rock on the first stretch of our Perth to Esperance itinerary.

The journey from Perth is about 3.5 hours, and you’ll need to pay an entrance fee of $12 per vehicle when you reach the reserve.

It was my first time seeing Wave Rock and not only is it stunning but also how mind-blowing that it’s thought to have formed over 2700 million years ago?!

I also love that you can actually walk on the rock here. There’s a short walking route you can do from Wave Rock to Hippo’s Yawn which takes about 1 hour.

We spent our first night in the camper at Wave Rock Caravan Park. It’s super easy to find great camper sites in Australia, and we opted for a powered site to keep the campervan running.

Also for anyone wondering about space in the camper, we find the 2berth campers have plenty of space for the both of us. Britz is a 4WD hire company, so no worries about driving off-road or onto beaches - it gives you the ultimate flexibility to go where you want!
