Stretching between Perth and Adelaide, the Southern Ocean coastline and the Nullarbor Plain deliver one of Australia’s most iconic road trips. The Nullarbor – Latin for “no trees” – may look like endless flat desert, but driving across its 1,600 kilometres is a rite of passage that reveals haunting beauty, quirky Outback roadhouses, and unique wildlife. Hugging the Great Australian Bight, the route also leads to pristine national parks, blinding beaches, premium wine regions and encounters with some of Australia’s most loveable locals, from sea lions to kangaroos. Far from boring, this stretch of Australia’s south is an unforgettable mix of remote wilderness, ocean panoramas and cultural gems.

The Nullarbor Plain
Crossing the Nullarbor is an essential Aussie road trip. Stretching nearly 1,700 kilometres across vast limestone country, this journey is anything but boring. Expect endless horizons, quirky Outback roadhouses, and iconic stops like Eucla’s buried telegraph station. It’s the ultimate rite of passage for travellers crossing between WA and SA.
Margaret River
Margaret River combines world-class wineries with pristine beaches and dramatic caves. Whether tasting a glass of Shiraz, exploring underground chambers, or spotting whales offshore (June–November), Margaret River captures the very best of WA’s lifestyle and natural beauty.
Baird Bay
This quiet fishing village on the Eyre Peninsula is home to wild but friendly Australian sea lions. Jump in for an unforgettable swim alongside these playful locals, and often dolphins too. It’s a rare chance to experience wildlife encounters in a natural, untouched setting.
Cape Le Grand National Park
Near Esperance, Cape Le Grand is postcard-perfect Australia: turquoise seas, granite peaks, and impossibly white sand. Lucky Bay is the star attraction, where kangaroos hop across the beach. Visitors can swim, hike Frenchman Peak, or simply soak up one of WA’s most breathtaking coastal landscapes.
