About Western Australia
Western Australia (WA) is the largest state in Australia and one of the largest states in the world, covering an area of more than 2.5 million square kilometres.
The capital of WA is Perth, which is closer to Singapore and Indonesia than it is to Australia's own capital city - Canberra.
Known for being Australia's sunniest capital city, there are a range of activities available to suit each individual. From a day at the beach, a weekend down south at premium wineries or a trip up north experiencing the outback, there will be plenty of reasons to return.
