Perth to Geraldton — Coastal Kickstart
Start in Perth, stock up on essentials, and head north along the Indian Ocean Drive. Enjoy scenic stops along the coast, including towns like Lancelin, where you can explore the sand dunes, and Jurien Bay, perfect for a short break and ocean views. Continue to Geraldton, a vibrant regional hub with coastal scenery, cafés, and a chance to rest before the longer journey north.
Geraldton to Carnarvon — Wheatbelt & Outback Views
Leaving Geraldton, drive through the wheatbelt and inland plains toward Carnarvon. This town marks a gateway to the north, where coastal landscapes meet arid outback vistas. Stop here to refuel, stretch your legs, and enjoy the peaceful riverside surroundings.
Coral Coast & North West Highway
Follow the North West Coastal Highway as you head toward the Kimberley. This section offers remote scenery and the chance to experience the vastness of Western Australia. Small towns along the route provide rest breaks and opportunities to experience local outback culture.
Kimberley Country & Remote Stops
As you get closer to Broome, the landscape opens up into Kimberley country. Towns like Halls Creek are ideal for overnight stops, while natural highlights such as Wolfe Creek Crater offer striking scenery and great photo opportunities. Keep your schedule flexible to explore the unique gorges and ranges safely.
Arrival in Broome — Coastal Beauty
Finish your journey in Broome, a relaxed coastal town famous for Cable Beach, its pearling history, and stunning sunsets. Walk along white sand beaches, enjoy local cuisine, or take in the cultural highlights before resting after the long drive. Broome makes the perfect destination to unwind and reflect on your road trip.
Road Trip Tips
- Trip length: Allow 10–14 days to fully enjoy the route and stops without rushing.
- Fuel & supplies: Fill up whenever possible — some stretches between towns are long and remote.

- Wildlife safety: Watch for kangaroos, emus, and other wildlife, especially at dawn and dusk.
- Camping & overnight stays: Plan ahead for remote campgrounds, particularly in Kimberley regions, and check availability if staying in town facilities.
