Welcome
Welcome to Western Australia Expert! My site is dedicated to helping you plan your holiday to Western Australia and to provide locals with inspiration on things to do and staycations. I cover where to visit, how to get there, where to stay, and what to do plus inspiration for road trips, getaways, and day trips.
Who is Western Australia Expert?
I’m Wendy, a mum to twin adult daughters who lives in Perth, Western Australia. I have a love of travel, food, hiking, and exploring new places.
Why am I an expert of Western Australia?
I am originally from London but moved to Perth in 2000. Since then I have travelled within WA extensively with and without my family.
I’ve explored Western Australia over many years, not on free trips or rushed weekends, but through repeat visits, long drives, and time spent actually understanding each place. Everything on Western Australia Expert comes from first-hand experience. I plan the routes, visit the towns, stay in the accommodation, and pay for it myself. That means the advice here is practical, honest, and based on what it’s really like on the ground. If I recommend somewhere, it’s because I’d go back myself.
Some of my most cherished memories include family camping trips along the Coral Coast and snorkelling in the pristine waters of Ningaloo Reef. It was during these adventures that I developed a deep love and appreciation for the vast and diverse landscapes of my home state.
I realised that Western Australia was often overshadowed by the more frequented destinations on Australia’s East Coast. It dawned on me that so many international visitors were missing out on the extraordinary beauty and unique experiences that WA has to offer. This realisation ignited a desire in me to showcase Western Australia’s hidden spots to the world.
I started Western Australia Expert in 2022 with a simple yet powerful mission: to inspire people to discover the breathtaking beauty of Western Australia for themselves. My goal is not only to guide travellers to well-known attractions but also to encourage them to explore off-the-beaten-path locations that are equally captivating.
What do I provide?
My aim is to inspire you to visit Western Australia and provide you with all the information needed to travel here, with guides on all the best things to do, regions to explore, places to eat & drink, and epic road trips.
I work directly with numerous Western Australian tour operators, promoting their tours and supporting small business owners.
