Western Australia Travel Guide

Hi we are Chris and Bec (@salt.and.charcoal) We’ve been road-tripping Western Australia since we were kids, hit the road full-time in 2020, and done the AU lap twice 🚐 And WA is still our favourite state, especially for road tripping!

It has a rugged and remote feel, and it's way more 2WD-friendly than you might think. The key is knowing the best routes for YOUR setup and WHEN to tackle them! 🔥 So we created this guide based on ALL the road trips we’ve done across WA with:

✅ 16+ road trip itineraries for any season marked for 2WD or 4WD, so you know what’s doable in a regular car and when to do it

✅ Our fav beaches, waterfalls, gorges, hikes, surfing and snorkelling spots, campsites, bakeries, coffee spots...

✅ Filters like "dog-friendly", "snorkel", "surf"

And once you’ve got the guide, it’s yours for life! We'll keep updating it as we keep travelling.

Hope to see you on the road!

I'm in the beginning phase of planning a WA trip that I've always wanted to do but didn't know where to start. I already feel so much less overwhelmed and stressed having this guide to help me. Being able to just choose an itinerary that's already well planned and then being able to customise it is just so useful for my planning. I know I can't go wrong now. And when I still had a millions question I just messaged Chris and Bec and they answered every single one. Thanks so much!

Got the guide instantly. Thank you! We’ve been looking for something like this to help guide us. Yes, there are tourist information centres & info on-line but this guide that Bec & Chris has put together is much more personal & gives a much clearer idea of what is available. Rather than piecing things ourselves guessing, we can take the hassle out of linking places to visit & worrying about what we’ve missed out. This guide makes it easy. This guide gives us something good & solid to follow & add to or change as we choose or just simply follow as a pre planned itinerary/personal tour guide which saves a mountain of time. Planning routes takes a tremendous amount of time. Following this guide makes travelling simpler, less stressful & more fun.

A great guide. We have just returned from a 2 week South West WA holiday and the guide was a great help. Handy tips, location guides and suggested itineraries were a great help. Thank you 😊

I absolutely love it! I have used it many times, it’s super easy to navigate and really well put together. It’s helped me discover so many cool and unique spots I would never have found on my own, which made my trip even more special. Honestly, I’m really happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to WA! Thanks you!

Although we haven't actually done our West Australian trip yet, Chris and Bec's Guide (Salt & Charcoal) has been a life saver for our planning.

Their itineraries are fabulous, and we really like the way they point out the things to see in each town or beach.

We thoroughly recommend their guides.
