WA you do not disappoint. Blessed is how we feel to have spent 7 nights here in the Ningaloo area. We took the advice to 'wanderoutyonder' and we are so glad we chose Coral Bay as our base. This place is beautiful. It was an epic road trip from Perth but worth every km! It is pristine, the beach is spectacular and safe. The marine life is abundant, if you could say there was a heaven here on earth this could be the place. Come here, leave only footprints and take hundreds of photos. Thank you!

It was VERY rough, but well worth it. The Orca were out to play! Make sure you take medication the night before and morning of. Many people were very sick.
3. Roley Pool Reserve
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By PaulS803 - Adelaide, Australia
Roley Pool Reserve is a delightful little place off the beaten track, and one which the locals would probably like to keep secret. There is a loop walk which you could co plate in fifteen minutes, but you might like to take an hour or more. The reserve lies along the upper Canning River, and is accessed from the Soldiers Road Bridge. There are two car parks. The track from the Northern car park is really a fire track, so the access is relatively easy, but the scenery is less attractive. The track leads to a place where the stream forms pools in a rounded rock setting with bush surrounds and tinkling little falls. There is then a water crossing which was fine in January, but might be hazardous when the flow is greater. The southern track is much more interesting, passing past rocky cliffs and meandering close to the stream. This is a lovely place to take a picnic, or simply to enjoy.

5. Shark Bay

Shark Bay - We left Billabong Roadhouse and drove on up the Highway until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay, known to the local Malgana people as Gutharraguda, meaning two bays. It is a World Heritage listed site for its beauty and abundant prehistoric life forms, evolution in action and wildlife refuges. It is made up of the Francois Peron National Park, the Shark Bay Marine Park and Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. Nearby is Shell Beach, a Discovery Centre, Eagle Bluff and a Discovery Trail - this is a great place for families - all the above is free and you get to see some amazing things and learn a little too. It is a sleepy little place but well worth driving from attraction to attraction over a couple of days.
6. Caversham Wildlife Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,738 reviews
Reviewed By bcripps1 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom
My wife and I visited Caversham as part of a day tour around the Perth area. As it was an organised tour, we experienced several supervised encounters as part of our visit. Perhaps the best was the time spent in the large kangaroo enclosure, with a a great number of very friendly and relaxed kangaroos, who we were able to feed. Our visit also included other animal encounters, including koalas and a farming presentation. Caversham is a beautiful, spacious, well laid out and maintained park with well cared for animals in spacious, natural enclosures. We only had about two hours here, but could easily have spent at least half a day to thoroughly explore and enjoy this beautiful park. Don't rush your visit - allow plenty of time!

This is a great place to visit if you have animal lovers in the family. We spent over 2 hours there. My wife and daughter found the baby deer, goat and calf especially affectionate and friendly. The Clydesdale and roos were my favorites. Well worth a visit and good value for money for families.

A Stunning array of colours as deep red dirt from the Pindan Cliffs falls onto white sand and then tumbles into the endless aquas of the ocean. Peaceful, unique, spectacular. Definitely worth the drive out to Kooljaman to have a swim and watch the world turn away from the sun :)

On our trip to Bundury wildlife we when out for lunch there. The food was delicious but a little on the small side though. It was a wonderful day we enjoyed looking at all the birds and Australian wildlife animals it's super clean and the animals are will look after. My son really enjoyed feeding the kangaroos and birds in the aviary.
