DAY 01: Perth to Geraldton (503 km)
Travel to Cervantes and the Nambung National Park. From Cervantes it’s only a short drive to the Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park. Travel on to Geraldton via Greenough. Geraldton is the main port and administration centre of the mid west region. Geraldton has year-round sunny climate and mild winters which makes it one of Western Australia’s most popular holiday destinations. Geraldton and the surrounding districts are noted for the beautiful wild spring flowers and the country side.
DAY 02: Geraldton to Monkey Mia (429 km)
From Geraldton continue the drive north on the North West Coastal Highway to Monkey Mia. At Monkey Mia, see such sights as Hamelin Pool, a marine reserve that contains the world’s best known colony of stromatolites. We suggest you also make a stop at the stunning 110km long Shell Beach. From Denham it is 27 km north-east by sealed road to Monkey Mia.
DAY 03: Monkey Mia
It’s time to take a day of rest, to relax and enjoy this beautiful area. Visit the dolphins or just relax on the fantastic beaches. There are also boat tours which leave Monkey Mia to view the dugongs or ‘sea cows’ which graze among the seagrass beds.
DAY 04: Monkey Mia to Kalbarri (395 km)
Today head back out to the highway and turn south. Travel along the North West coastal Highway to the Kalbarri National Park and then to Kalbarri. This afternoon we suggest a trip to Kalbarri National Park and Murchison River, with its spectacular gorges & abundant wildflowers. Kalbarri is a scenic coastal village on the estuary of the Murchison River.
DAY 05: Kalbarri to Perth (586 km or 668 km)
You have a choice of two routes today. The shorter route will take you south to Geraldton then along the Brand Highway directly to Perth. We recommend that you stop for the afternoon in the Swan Valley, just north of the city for wine tasting and afternoon tea. The second route takes you inland to the towns of Mingenew and Moora with a recommended stop at New Norcia to visit the Benedictine Mission. Continue to Perth via the Great Northern and Great Eastern Highways.
Note your car is booked until tomorrow and should be dropped off at the city or airport, by the same time as it was picked up on Day 1, to avoid any additional charges.
