If outdoor activities are an integral part of the Aussie way of life, nowhere is this more true than in Western Australia. When you consider that it has one of the longest, most magnificent and least crowded coastlines in the world, and is shared by a mere 2.2 million people, it all starts to make sense. The south west also has some of the best long distance walking trails in the country including the 140km Cape to Cape Track and the Bibbulmun Track stretching more than 1,000 kms from the Perth Hills to the south coast at Albany.

Cycling
With a sunny climate and generally flat terrain, Western Australia is a great place to explore by bike. Perth's network of cycle paths, the mountain bike trails in the south west and car-free Rottnest Island are some of the most popular places to free wheel. A network of Heritage Cycling Trails also links places of historical interest.

Surfing
Margaret River is one of the best spots to surf in WA. Over the 130 kms of pristine coastline between Cape Naturaliste to the north and Cape Leeuwin to the south, there are more than 75 top-class surf breaks and none of the over-crowding that characterises many other surfing Meccas around the world.
