ADELAIDE TO PERTH ROAD TRIP: THE AWE-INSPIRING DRIVE YOU NEED TO TAKE

Who doesn’t love a road trip? Make it an epic one across the Nullarbor Plain
from Adelaide to Perth.


Gawler Ranges

You could certainly fly from Adelaide to Perth or take the iconic Indian Pacific
train but then you’d miss out on one of the most epic road trips of all time. In
fact, driving across the Nullarbor Plain at least once in your lifetime is an
Australian rite of passage.

Spanning over 2,700 kilometres, and depending on the route that you take, you
could make the drive comfortably in about four to five days, but we recommend
taking your time and immersing yourself in the landscape and characters you’ll
meet along the way.

Here are just a few highlights to expect on our Adelaide to Perth road trip
guide.


Adelaide (Image Credit: City of Adelaide)


ADELAIDE

Since award-winning restaurants line the streets, it’s unlikely you’ll ever
sample all the outstanding dishes on offer, not to mention the surrounding wine
regions such as McLaren Vale, the Barossa and Clare Valley.

You might enjoy reading our guide to Adelaide but if you’re short on time and
raring to get going on your Adelaide to Perth road trip, Adelaide’s East End
never disappoints for its range of dining options, boutiques, bars and
galleries. Get your steps in along the Rundle Street Mall and the Adelaide
Botanic Gardens or a dip at Brighton or Glenelg beaches before hitting the road.

Don’t miss: For a taste of South Australia, don’t miss the Adelaide Central
Market. Showcasing over 70 traders under one roof, it’s the perfect spot to
stock up for epic adventures.


Clare Valley (Photo credit: South Australian Tourism Commission & Harry Vick)


CLARE VALLEY

Let’s ease into this unforgettable road trip with a spot of wine tasting in the
Clare Valley where Riesling is the star of the show. From the oldest winery
Sevenhill Cellars to Pikes Wines, O’Leary Walker Wines, Jim Barry Wines or
Mitchell Wines, to name a few of the 40 cellar doors, grab your favourite labels
to keep you sustained along the way, responsibly of course. Enjoy lunch at the
Watervale Hotel, Bush DeVine Restaurant (at Paulett Wines) or Mr Mick Cellar
Door and Kitchen.

Stay: Since you’re in a premium wine region, it makes sense to stay among the
vines at a two-bedroom villa at Neagles Retreat Villas (from $340 per night),
preferably with a local drop-in hand on the deck overlooking vineyard vistas.




Whyalla (Photo credit: Victoria Kronsell)



WHYALLA

Situated on the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula, Whyalla is a four-hour drive
from Adelaide. Boasting over 300 days of annual sunshine and visited by over
250,000 giant Australian cuttlefish each winter, it’s the only place on earth
you can snorkel with these alien-looking sea creatures. The quirky town is also
worth checking out for its unexpected Elvis Presley Museum and unique circular
jetty. Relax on the pebbled beach of Fitzgerald Bay, set against a backdrop of
the southern Flinders Ranges.

Explore: Between May and August and September and April, join Whyalla Diving
Services to swim with the giant Australian cuttlefish or stay dry onboard
Cutty’s glass bottom boat tours.

PORT LINCOLN

After spending all that time in the car, you deserve some adventure in Port
Lincoln, the unofficial capital of the Eyre Peninsula. Famed for adventure, the
wild coastline promises kayaking, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming
with sea lions and dolphins or take it up a notch with shark cage diving.

Or if sounds a bit too adventurous, head to the tip of the Lincoln National
Park, where you can drive onto the beach and spend the day frolicking among the
ridiculously blue water and kangaroos, if you’re lucky.

However, if the weather has other ideas, the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection
Area in the Lincoln National Park is home to rugged cliffs, birdlife, kangaroos,
dolphins and whales when in season. To see koalas in their natural habitat, head
to Mikkira Station. Don’t forget to check out our accommodation guide to Port
Lincoln.

Dine: You’re at the epicentre of seafood, so you can’t pass by Coffin Bay, about
20 minutes away, without sampling the region’s famous oysters at 1802 Oyster Bar
or Oyster HQ. Join a Coffin Bay oyster farm tour and then relax on the
pure-white sands on Almonta Beach in Coffin Bay National Park.

GAWLER RANGES NATIONAL PARK

Believed to have been formed over 1500 million years ago after a volcanic
eruption, the Gawler Ranges National Park is most famed for Kolay Mirica Falls
and the Organ Pipes, aptly named for its prism-like columns. Sprawling across
1600sqm, the Gawler Ranges are also home to kangaroos, dingos and echidnas
living among the diverse volcanic, basalt, salt lake and sand dune landscape.

You’ll probably pass through the township of Kimba, the gateway to the Gawler
Ranges and known for its creative community, so be sure to check the Workshop26
art district and the silos painted with artwork on a grand scale.

Stay: For an outback adventure, stay on a family-owned sheep station at Mt Ive
Station in the heart of the Gawler Ranges. They have a range of accommodation
options, including camping, dongas, shearer’s quarters, or self-contained huts.
While here, you’ll have private access to Lake Gairdner, a vast salt lake
sprawling for 150km.

STREAKY BAY

On the Eyre Peninsula’s wild west, Streaky Bay is wonderfully isolated and about
an eight-hour drive from Adelaide. Stretch your legs in town and follow the
Streaky Bay Historic walk and don’t miss the Powerhouse Museum and the Streaky
Bay Jetty. While in town, you will want to stock up for an unforgettable stay at
the Camel Beach House (from $390 per night). The Westall Way, Cape Bauer and
Point Labatt are three scenic drives to follow for vistas of the unique rock
formations, including Murphy’s Haystacks, the Granites, Whistling Rocks and
Smooth Point.

Stay: Set in the middle of a 250-acre conservation sanctuary, Camel Beach House
(from $390 per night) is the ultimate sustainable getaway in earthy luxury.
Recharge and connect with nature among the wildlife, home to Australian sea
lions, dolphins and migrating Southern Right Whales from May to October, set
against the soundtrack of the Southern Ocean’s crashing against your private
beach.

CEDUNA

Ceduna is the last major town before hitting the Western Australian border.
Delve into the region’s culture on the Encounter Walking Trail and check out the
Aboriginal arts centre on the peninsula at Arts Ceduna, showcasing over 130
artists.

From May to October, witness migrating Southern Right Whales from the Head of
Bight, which is one of the best whale-watching spots in Australia and about
three-and-a-half hours west of Ceduna, or join a cruise for a closer vantage
point. Since you’re in the Nullarbor, one of the most remote places in the
country, there’s almost zero light pollution, so don’t forget to look up.

Stay: Enjoy an unforgettable stay at the iconic Nullarbor Roadhouse (from $173
per night), where you can dine on pub grub, explore the ancient limestone
Murrawijinie Caves and tee off from the Dingo’s Den on the world’s longest golf
course at the Nullarbor Links spanning 1365 kilometres.

KALGOORLIE

One of the most direct ways from Adelaide to Perth is via the goldfields and
through the mining town of Kalgoorlie, built on the fortune of gold discovery in
the 1890s. While the historic town is definitely worth a visit, starting with
the Museum of the Goldfields, explore the ghost towns of Leonora and Gwalia and
the outdoor art gallery at Lake Ballard. Continue your golf game on the Nullabor
Links at the Par 4 Golden Mile at the Kalgoorlie Golf Club.

Visit: Kalgoorlie's Super Pit is one of the largest open-cut mines on earth and
the biggest gold mine in Australia, with 900,000 ounces of gold harvested each
year. 


Esperance (Image Credit: Esperance Chalet Village)


ESPERANCE

Located approximately 700km southeast of Perth, there’s no denying Esperance is
remote and has one of the most pristine environments in the country. You’ve
probably seen the promotional shot of kangaroos lounging on a snowy white beach
– that was taken along the 21km stretch of Lucky Bay, located within Cape Le
Grand National Park. Sandboarding down the dunes inspires fits of carefree
euphoria.

There’s no denying the mystery of Esperance Stonehenge, and built from locally
quarried pink granite, all 137 stones are arranged as an exact replica of the
original and are aligned with the winter and summer solstices. For vistas of the
iconic pink Lake Hillier, you’ll need to take to the skies for a flight over
Middle Island.

Stay: Head to Bandy Creek for self-contained comfort at the Esperance Chalet
Village (from $312 per night), the ideal location for setting off on adventures
and chilling out.

ALBANY

Situated in Australia’s Great Southern Region, the coastal town of Albany has a
rich and fascinating history dating back to its dark whaling history at Albany’s
Historic Whaling Station. Albany is also home to charming heritage architecture
and the National ANZAC Centre overlooking the dramatic King George Sound,
honouring Australia’s and New Zealand’s war heroes. The Gap, in the Torndirrup
National Park, is one of the most formidable rock formations. Wine and food
lovers will adore exploring the town and region and a cosy stay at The Beach
House at Bayside (from $345 per night) boutique bed and breakfast is a must.

Don’t miss: On your way to Margaret River, don’t miss the 600-metre treetop walk
perched 40 metres above the forest floor at The Valley of the Giants. Add the
elephant rock formations at Elephant Rocks and Greens Pool in William Bay
National Park to your itinerary.

MARGARET RIVER REGION

Spanning 120 kilometres of pristine coastline, rugged cliffs, idyllic beaches
and skyscraping forests, the Margaret River Region is most famous for hundreds
of cellar doors, restaurants, fresh produce outlets, breweries, cideries and
distilleries. Mix in its creative community of writers, artists, photographers
and musicians drawn to the landscape and a wide range of accommodation options.

It's no wonder the Margaret River Region is one of the most popular holiday
destinations, especially since Perth is only three hours away. Check out our
guide to the region for a taste of what to expect. 

Must do: Since over half of the region’s wineries have received a Halliday
rating, you can’t visit the region without a wine tasting. Follow the golden
triangle in Wilyabrup, between Gracetown and Cowaramup, as a starting point and
just see where the road takes you. Or follow our wine lover’s guide to the best
wineries in the Margaret River Region. 


Perth


PERTH

Congratulations! You’ve completed this epic road trip of a lifetime. So it’s
time to celebrate in the cosmopolitan capital of Western Australia. Check out
our Perth guide for a few ideas of where to dine, stay and play but if you’re
short on time, explore the city’s mix of eclectic and high-street fashion in the
heart of the city.

Then reconnect with nature at the Australian Botanic Gardens in Kings Park,
climb the Matagarup Bridge or stroll around Elizabeth Quay, where you could jump
on a ferry to East Perth or Fremantle. Northbridge, an inner-city suburb north
of the railway, brims with multi-cultural dining options, a range of small bars
and the Perth Cultural Centre.

Stay: Now you've officially finished your Adelaide to Perth road trip, treat
yourself with a stay in a heritage suite at COMO The Treasury (from $1195 per
night) in the restored State Buildings and a fancy dinner at Wildflower with
sweeping city vistas. However, if the budget doesn’t quite extend that far, the
refurbished Parmelia Hilton Perth (from $213 per night) in the heart of the CBD
offers excellent value and beautifully appointed rooms. 

Has our Adelaide to Perth road trip guide ignited your wanderlust? Plan a local
stay in Perth and one of these luxe hotels, or pay a visit to one of South
Australia's best wineries.
