Western Australia is known as the Wild Flower State for the many varieties that carpet the countryside from July to September. There are three separate regions of Western Australia; the Coastal Plains, the Scarplands and the Great Plateau which covers 90% of the land. The Capital of this state is Perth. It claims to have the best climate in Australia and with its beautiful beaches and active nightlife, it is one of the most popular cities.

    Western Australia is also home to many of the country's geological wonders. Wave rock (featured on the right) is 15 meters high and 27 million years old. Other interesting sites to see here include dinosaur tracks left on the sandstone coast of Gantheaume Point, Carnarvon's 20 meter blow holes, the town of Kalgoorlie where the gold rush began, and Monkey Mia, where you can hand-feed wild dolphins.
