Western Australia is divided in five regions outlining the unique range of Extraordinary Experiences available in this State.
The Stars of WA currently looks at three regions:
Experience Perth
Experience Perth contains the essential ingredients for a great holiday; some of the country's best beaches, plenty of nightlife, bustling markets, inner city parks, outdoor dining and amazing marine adventures.
Experience Perth centres on Western Australia's capital of Perth, which sits beside the widest stretch of the meandering Swan River.
Australia's sunniest capital city, Perth enjoys 3000 hours of sunshine a year. No wonder it's been voted one of the world's most liveable cities.
Locals here enjoy a relaxed outdoors lifestyle, as does the neighbouring port city of Fremantle, at the mouth of the Swan River.
The line-up of water-based fun includes boating, fishing and all dialogues of surfing. Fremantle's majestic historic architecture takes you back in time, while its marine heritage draws you to the ocean and a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island.

Australia's South West
Australia's South West has been chosen by Lonely Planet as one of the world's Top 10 Regions for 2010. This region offers some of the most varied travel experiences in Western Australia. Discover towering forests to whale watching, fine food and wine to world class surfing, Australia's South West offers some of the most varied travel experiences in Western Australia.
Margaret River and its surrounds are a popular destination for world-class wineries, top surfing and fun family holidays. Locals head here in winter too, responding to the lure of cosy log-fires, brisk walks along the beach, horse riding through the bush and mountains of delicious local produce.
A huge draw for scuba divers is the HMAS Swan Dive Wreck, also visible to snorkellers from above the ocean surface. The Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory provides another amazing view of the colourful world beneath the water.

Australia's Golden Outback
The name alone evokes images of sunburnt plains, endless skies and desolate beauty. And while these images are true, Australia's Golden Outback is also about wildly colourful events, down to earth locals and bizarre yet beautiful wildlife.
Vast clear skies and theatrical landscapes. True outback adventures, authentic Aboriginal encounters and visits to settlements built by goldrush pioneers.
Images of the vast clear skies and theatrical landscapes of the Golden Outback region will stamp themselves forever in your minds eye. See sculptures by world renowned artist Antony Gormley at one of Western Australia's most unusual and remote cultural attractions near the town of Menzies.
This is the place for true outback adventure. Driving becomes an activity in itself rather than a means to an end and camping under the stars is a mystical experience.
Look for tours offering authentic Aboriginal encounters in and around the mining towns and settlements built by goldrush pioneers. Or simply get into the laid back atmosphere of rural life among grandiose heritage buildings, friendly pubs and hospitable farmstays.
