Western Australia was made for long horizons and quiet stretches of bitumen. From coastal loops that follow white sand and turquoise water, to inland routes that cross wheat country, red desert and ancient ranges, the state offers road journeys that feel genuinely remote yet still within reach of a good roadhouse coffee.

This section brings together some of the most memorable drives across the regions. Each route is framed around the character of its country, the changing seasons and the practical realities of travelling long distances in a big state. It is written for travellers who prefer to take their time, stop in small towns and let the landscape set the pace.

Whether the plan is a short break from Perth, a loop through the South West forests, a run out to the Goldfields or a full northbound adventure into the Pilbara and Kimberley, these road trips offer a starting point. They highlight the roads that tell a story, the places worth detouring for and the kind of journeys that stay with people long after the dust has settled.
