Western Australia is a wave of activity. Unleash your inner explorer here as you trek through dusty parks and larger-than-life rock structures, or embark on a quintessential Western Australia road trip. It’s possible to drive nearly anywhere in Western Australia, but some prefer to take a plane to get from one end of the state to the next, with how accessible Western Australia airports are. Hertz Car Rental is available throughout the state as well as in most Western Australia airports.
Be as adventurous as possible when exploring the state. The tracks that take you off the beaten path could hold the best experiences! Self drive across Western Australia in a four-wheel drive and take yourself through the state’s rocky terrain. Approach Hertz Car Rental outlets to find a suitable vehicle for your Western Australia road trip. Drive through Purnululu National Park, and snap a picture of the iconic striped sandstone mounds. Listed as a World Heritage site, these massive sandstone mounds are coloured with stripes and shapes formed by millions of years of rainfall. Or go camping at the Karijini National Park, one of Western Australia’s largest national parks. Unleash your inner Lara Croft and go hiking past waterfalls, half submerged gorges and swim in sparkling rock pools. Even if you aren’t planning to stay the night, you can simply self-drive in to enjoy the park’s beauties. The layout of the park allows visitors to experience the canyons and rock formations a mere walk away from the car park.
After all the Western Australia road trips and exploring, it’s nice to kick back and relax a little. Soak up the sun on Cable Beach, a stretch of white sandy beach that looks out on the Indian Ocean. You can do the usual sunbathing and swimming here but you can also take a ride on a camel right on the shoreline. How’s that for an interesting beach getaway? Also take a stroll in the Kings Park and Botanical Gardens, a haven of greenery in the heart of Perth. The massive park’s Botanic Gardens hold a wide array of plants and birds native to Western Australia. Climb the suspended glass and steel bridge to view the trees from an impressive bird eye’s view.
Take the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and history of Western Australia with some of the state’s unique attractions. Self drive down to Fremantle to take a walk in the day of the life of a prison inmate at the Fremantle Prison. An imposing structure built in beautiful pale limestone, this prison has been around since the 1800s. You can take tours of the cells and learn more about the lives of infamous inmates that have once been stored here. Learn more about the old soldiers of Australia that have left to join the First World War.
Western Australia is well connected by roads, making it convenient to self drive in and around town from any of the Western Australia airports. Although it’s good to take note which type of vehicle is recommended for the area you’re visiting before picking out your car rental.
