Q: We are visiting WA in late Jan/Feb for 2 weeks and want to explore some of the national parks in the WA region, we would love to see some of the amazing rock formations & landscape as well as do some bushwalking, which ones would you recommend?
A: alright, when you come to WA, make sure you see rock formations & Beaches. Where to get those depends on how far you willing to travel and WA is the biggest state in Australia. Here are some suggestions:(Short distance) 1. Wave rock - rock formation that looks like wave ( at Hyden, around 10-11 hours return drive from Perth) 2. Magret River's cave - Few caves with weird, beautiful and interestinf rock formation. (pitch black cave) (some suggestion - Lake cave, mammoth cave & jewel cave) I cant remember how long the drive from perth but can make it morning and come back perth in the evening. 3. Pinnacles desert - desert but with rock formation all over, somewhere near Lancelin up north. Its nearer but you have nothing interesting along the way so that makes you feel long journey. (Long distance) 1. Kalbarri - Up north after a town call Geraldton - very very very Super nice rock formation (cant return in 1 day, at least 2-3 days and 3 days also abit rush but you can do it if you want) 2. KIMBERLEY - I havent been there but planing, by looking at the brouchers and video, ITs STUNNING! but FAR away from perth, maybe you can take a flight and rent car when you arrive there. Dont worry aboutbushwalking, you can have it along the way to all the rock formations. Just a few advices before you go: 1. Get brouchers from the information tourist at the city near the train station & police station so you wont get lost or miss out any interesting stuff. 2. WATER cause those two months are super HOT and dry! 3. Bring some snacks or foods in the car cause its hard to get restaurant when you are visiting those places(just in case) 4. other than that, i think nothing much but enjoy the facinating landscape of WA. cheers
