ITINERARY – ADELAIDE to PERTH (5 Days)

Day 1 – Adelaide to Streaky Bay via Eyre Peninsula & Pildappa Rock

Depart Adelaide and travel north via Port Wakefield and the Spencer Gulf to Port Augusta. Continue across the Eyre Peninsula through Kimba to Minnipa. Visit Pildappa Rock, a remarkable pink granite inselberg with sweeping wave-like flared walls, rivaling WA’s Wave Rock. Arrive in the picturesque coastal town of Streaky Bay for a relaxing evening beside the bay.

Overnight Streaky Bay – ensuite hotel accommodation. Meals: L, D

Day 2 – Whale Watching at Head of Bight, Murrawijinie Caves - Nullarbor to Border Village

Travel to the world-class whale watching cliffs at the Head of Bight. During May–October, Southern Right Whales can often be seen calving just metres from shore beneath towering limestone cliffs.

Continue to the Murrawijinie Caves – featuring a huge doline and two fascinating limestone cave systems used by hawks and swallows for nesting. Temperatures inside the caves may be over 10°C cooler than above ground.

Cross the vast Nullarbor Plain, spotting wildlife along the way, and arrive at Border Village on the SA/WA state line.

Overnight Border Village – ensuite accommodation. Meals: B, L, D

Day 3 – Border Village to Norseman via Eucla Telegraph Station & 90 Mile Straight & Eyre Bird Observatory

Just over the border we visit the sand-filled remains of the historic Eucla Telegraph Station, once a critical link in Australia’s communication line. Shifting white dunes continue to reclaim the structure.

Near Coclebiddy, we turn south toward the coast, we take a scenic 4WD detour to the historic Eyre Bird Observatory, Australia’s first dedicated bird observatory, established in 1977 within the beautifully restored 1897 Eyre Telegraph Station. Nestled between shimmering white sand dunes and woodland, this isolated outpost offers a unique insight into Australia’s early communications history, coastal ecology and migratory birdlife. There is time to explore the museum, walk to the beach, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and experience the sense of isolation that defined early telegraph operators’ lives. Birdlife here is prolific, with honeyeaters, parrots, wrens and raptors often seen around the station and dunes.

Travel west across the expansive limestone plains through Madura, Cocklebiddy and Caiguna, traversing the famous 90 Mile Straight, Australia’s longest straight road.

Arrive in the historic gold-mining centre of Norseman, gateway to WA’s southern goldfields.

Overnight Norseman – motel accommodation (ensuite). Meals: B, L, D

Day 4 – Norseman to Hyden via Granite Woodlands & Wave Rock

Distance: approx. 460 km (including 4WD detour)

Depart Norseman this morning and travel west through classic goldfields country before joining the remarkable Granite and Woodlands Discovery Trail, an iconic outback route stretching across 300 km of pristine eucalypt woodland, salmon gums and granite outcrops. This remote track offers a peaceful contrast to the highway, with interpretive stops along the way and opportunities for wildlife sightings, photography and quiet reflection in one of Australia’s last great untouched woodland systems.

Rejoining the inland route, we travel through salmon gum woodlands and rich wheatbelt country toward Hyden, arriving late afternoon at one of Western Australia’s most iconic natural wonders: Wave Rock. This striking 15-metre-high granite wave, formed over 2.7 billion years, curves dramatically like a cresting ocean swell frozen in time. Nearby features include Hippo’s Yawn, Gnamma Holes, interpretive trails and, in season, vibrant displays of wildflowers including everlastings, grevilleas and orchids.

Settle into your Hyden accommodation and enjoy a relaxing evening after a day immersed in outback woodlands, remote coastal history and ancient geological marvels.

Overnight Hyden – hotel accommodation (ensuite). Meals: B, L, D

DAY 5 – Hyden to Perth via Wildflower Country Hyden → Corrigin → York → Perth

This morning enjoy more time at Wave Rock, then travel west through Hyden’s rolling wheatbelt into classic WA wildflower country. In season (Aug–Oct) the roadsides burst with vibrant pink, yellow, and white everlastings, along with grevilleas, hakeas, and delicate spider orchids.

Stop in the historic township of York, WA’s first inland settlement, with beautifully restored Victorian & Federation buildings.

Arrive into Perth this afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel or airport.

Meals: B, L
