Heroes and Heroines
The people who lead the way when it comes to those things which matter to us: exploration, the environment, women’s empowerment and education.
Western Australia
Home to the city of Perth, the wilderness landscapes of the Kimberley and the underwater world of the Ninagloo Reef.
Western Australia is often less visited due to its distance from the bustling cities of Sydney and Melbourne and some of the more classic sites. However, this vast area is well worth exploring and is a stand out Australian holiday destination in its own right.
Perth is an easy city to explore, located on the scenic Swan River with the cosmopolitan port town of Fremantle close by. To the south lie the vineyards and sunny beach culture of Margaret River and stretching north is an extensive coastline, home to the coral reefs of the Ningaloo and the tidal extremes of the Kimberley.
Margaret River Fare
A short drive south of Perth this area is responsible for producing less than 1% of Australia’s wine but over 15% of Australia’s premium wine. Boutique beer breweries, exquisite cheese products, jams and condiment producers, a marron (freshwater crayfish) farm, olive groves and even chocolate and fudge factories add to the gourmet experiences. Couple this with an array of art and craft galleries for a fabulous opportunity to experience local producers and artists.
The Kimberley
In the far northwest this is an ancient land-form of rugged ranges with deep, spectacular gorges, pristine sandy beaches and mighty river systems that produce cascading waterfalls during the wet season. Unexplored caves hide ancient Bradshaw rock paintings, and cattle stations are so large that your nearest neighbour can be two hours away. One of the most rewarding ways to explore this remote region is on an expeditionary cruise with access to the coastal mangroves, creeks, gorges and waterfalls. Alternatively, take to the skies for an aerial view of this vast wilderness.
The Ningaloo Reef
For many travellers, the most surprising discovery in Western Australia is the Ningaloo Reef, one of the world’s longest fringing coral reefs, located just a few metres from a white sand beach that stretches for hundreds of kilometres. In part because of its isolation, this reef is in magnificent condition and home to a huge variety of corals, fish and marine mammals. From April to July, it is possible to swim with whale sharks or join humpback whales in the water from August to October.

Clare Higginson
It was my passion for languages that first encouraged me to leave the UK behind and grab my rucksack. Since then, it’s been a mixture of intriguing cultures, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonder of seeing animals in their natural habitat that sees me continuously extending my travel wish list.
