Plan a Western Australia journey
Perth is a practical starting point for road trips through the South West, Wheatbelt, Coral Coast, Golden Outback, Pilbara, Kimberley and central Australia. Travellers can return their vehicle to Perth or arrange a one way hire to selected Adventure Rentals depots.
The distances below are approximate and do not include every national park entrance, campground, sightseeing detour or local drive.
| Road trip | Approximate distance | Recommended time |
|---|---|---|
| Perth, Margaret River, Albany, Esperance, Hyden and Wheatbelt loop | Approximately 2,000 to 2,200 kilometres, depending on the route and national park detours | 12 to 16 days, or two to three weeks for a slower journey |
| Perth to Exmouth and return to Perth | Approximately 2,500 kilometres before local sightseeing and national park detours | 14 to 18 days |
| Perth to Broome through the Coral Coast and Pilbara | Approximately 2,600 to 3,200 kilometres when Ningaloo, Karijini, the eastern Pilbara and Cape Keraudren are included | 14 to 21 days |
| Perth to Darwin through the Kimberley | More than 4,000 kilometres when the Coral Coast, Pilbara and Kimberley are included | At least 28 days |
| Perth to Adelaide across the Nullarbor | Approximately 3,700 kilometres, depending on the route and sightseeing detours | 14 to 21 days |

A Perth, South West, Esperance and Wheatbelt loop offers one of the most varied road trips in Western Australia. Instead of following the same road in both directions, travellers can experience the coast, forests, beaches, national parks, farming country, granite formations and Wheatbelt communities in one circular journey.
Begin by travelling south from Perth through Bunbury and Busselton to the Margaret River Region. Spend time exploring the coastline, caves, forests, beaches, local produce and renowned food and wine experiences.
Continue through the Southern Forests and Valleys, including Pemberton, Manjimup and Walpole. From Walpole, follow the south coast through Denmark and Albany, with opportunities to visit the Valley of the Giants, William Bay National Park, Torndirrup National Park, Porongurup National Park and Stirling Range National Park.
From Albany, continue east towards Bremer Bay, Hopetoun and Fitzgerald River National Park before reaching Esperance. Allow enough time to explore the beaches and coastal scenery around Esperance, including Cape Le Grand National Park and Lucky Bay.
Beach access may be permitted in selected areas around Esperance and Cape Le Grand National Park when authorised by park managers and local authorities. Customers must follow all signs and closures, remain above the high tide mark and accept full liability for any damage or recovery costs that occur while travelling on beaches, sand tracks or sand dunes.
For the return journey to Perth, travel inland through Ravensthorpe and Lake King to Hyden. Visit Wave Rock, Hippo’s Yawn and the surrounding granite formations before continuing through the Wheatbelt.
The journey from Hyden to Perth can include Wheatbelt towns such as Kondinin, Corrigin and Brookton. Depending on the route selected, travellers may also include parts of the PUBLIC Silo Trail, seasonal wildflower areas, historic country towns and local farm experiences.
Suggested route: Perth to Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Pemberton, Walpole, Denmark, Albany, Hopetoun, Esperance, Ravensthorpe, Lake King, Hyden, the Wheatbelt and Perth.
We recommend allowing approximately 12 to 16 days for the full loop. Travellers wanting additional walks, national parks, beach days or a slower pace should allow two to three weeks.
A shorter seven to ten day itinerary should concentrate on Margaret River, the Southern Forests, Denmark, Albany and an inland return through selected Wheatbelt towns. Esperance should only be added when there is enough time to avoid rushed days and excessive daily driving.
A Perth to Exmouth return journey follows the West Coast through destinations such as the Pinnacles, Geraldton, Kalbarri, Shark Bay, Coral Bay and Exmouth.
Travellers can include François Peron National Park near Shark Bay when roads are open, vehicle access is permitted and the route has been approved by Adventure Rentals. François Peron National Park includes soft sand and remote tracks, so drivers must reduce tyre pressures, follow park advice and drive conservatively.
Exmouth is an itinerary destination and not an Adventure Rentals return depot. Travellers visiting Exmouth must either return their vehicle to Perth or continue north to return it at our Broome depot, subject to availability and one way hire requirements.
A Perth to Exmouth return trip generally requires at least 14 to 18 days. Additional time is recommended when including Kalbarri National Park, François Peron National Park, Cape Range National Park or extended stays at Ningaloo Reef.
A Perth to Broome one way journey allows travellers to combine the West Coast with Ningaloo Reef, Karijini National Park, the eastern Pilbara and Cape Keraudren before returning the vehicle at our Broome depot.
The journey can include the Pinnacles, Kalbarri, Shark Bay, François Peron National Park, Coral Bay, Exmouth, Cape Range National Park, Karijini National Park, Port Hedland, the eastern Pilbara and Cape Keraudren.
Travellers commonly visit Exmouth as part of this route but continue north to Broome rather than returning the vehicle in Exmouth.
Allow approximately 14 to 21 days for a Perth to Broome journey. A longer trip provides more time for Ningaloo Reef, Karijini National Park, remote coastal camps, the eastern Pilbara and Cape Keraudren.
One way hire between Perth and Broome is subject to seasonal depot operations, minimum hire requirements and vehicle availability.
Explore: Broome depot
Travellers continuing beyond Broome can explore the Kimberley, Gibb River Road, Purnululu National Park, Kununurra and the Northern Territory before returning the vehicle in Darwin.
A Perth to Darwin itinerary can include the Coral Coast, Ningaloo Reef, Karijini National Park, Broome, the Dampier Peninsula, the Gibb River Road, Mitchell Falls, El Questro, Kununurra, Lake Argyle and the national parks of the Northern Territory.
We recommend allowing at least 28 days for a Perth to Darwin journey that includes meaningful sightseeing time. Additional time is beneficial when including multiple side trips, longer walks or extended stays in national parks.
Explore: Gibb River Road guide · Darwin depot
A Perth to Adelaide journey can include the South West, Esperance, the Nullarbor, the Eyre Peninsula and regional South Australia.
Allow approximately 14 to 21 days, with additional time recommended when including Margaret River, Albany, Esperance, Cape Le Grand National Park or a longer Eyre Peninsula itinerary.
Explore: Adelaide depot
The Outback Way is known as Australia’s Longest Shortcut and connects Western Australia with the Red Centre and Outback Queensland.
From Perth, travellers should allow at least two to three days to reach Laverton through the Wheatbelt and Goldfields. From Laverton, the Great Central Road crosses remote Western Australia towards the Northern Territory border and Uluru.
The journey can continue through Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park, Kings Canyon and the Red Centre before reaching Alice Springs. Depending on route conditions and approvals, travellers may also include the Red Centre Way, Mereenie Loop and the West MacDonnell Ranges.
This remote route requires careful planning, current permits, suitable road conditions and prior approval from Adventure Rentals. Travellers must carry adequate food, water and fuel and should top up diesel whenever it is available.
Allow approximately 14 to 21 days between Perth and Alice Springs if you want enough time to experience the route and visit major destinations at both ends.
Explore: Alice Springs depot
A Perth to Cairns journey through the Outback Way is one of Australia’s great cross country 4WD adventures. It combines the Great Central Road, the Red Centre, Outback Queensland and Tropical North Queensland in one extended itinerary.
Begin by travelling from Perth through the Wheatbelt and Goldfields to Laverton. Allow at least two to three days for this first section before beginning the remote Great Central Road.
From Laverton, follow the Great Central Road through remote Western Australia towards the Northern Territory border and Uluru. Travellers can explore Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park before continuing through Kings Canyon, the Red Centre Way and Alice Springs.
From Alice Springs, the Outback Way continues east through remote sections of the Northern Territory and Queensland. The route eventually reaches Winton, a major Outback Queensland destination known for dinosaur experiences, outback history and vast open landscapes.
From Winton, there are several possible routes towards Cairns. Travellers can continue through Hughenden and Charters Towers to Townsville before following the coast north to Cairns.
Alternatively, an approved inland route may continue through Outback Queensland, the Gulf Savannah and the Atherton Tablelands before reaching Cairns. The most suitable route will depend on the season, road conditions, time available and individual route approvals.
A complete Perth to Cairns journey should take at least 28 days. Five to six weeks is recommended for travellers wanting to include more of the Great Central Road, Uluru, Kings Canyon, Alice Springs, Outback Queensland, Winton, the Gulf Savannah, the coast or the Atherton Tablelands.
Remote sections of the Outback Way require permits, careful fuel planning, current road reports and prior approval from Adventure Rentals.
