Perth to Broome West Coast Roadtrip

DAY 1

Cervantes is a small but prosperous fishing town. One of the main attractions neat Cervantes would have to be Nambung National Park which lies just south of Cervantes. Nambung National Park is home to Western Australia’s Pinnacles.

The vegetation bursts into flower from August to October, creating a memorable spectacle for visitors. A turn-off to Kangaroo Point is 7.5 km from the park entrance. A picnic shelter, gas barbecue and toilets are provided at this attractive site near the beach. To the north-west you can see Cervantes at Thirsty Point. Out to sea are the Cervantes Islands. Here, the vegetation has been heavily pruned by the salty winds. Camp overnight in Cervantes.

Located about 450km north of the Capital, Perth, the city is perched near beautiful coastline to the west and rolling hills and breakaway ranges to the east.
