Right, we have finally bitten the bullet and bought tickets for our Perth Trip next year. I know its ages away but we all know how fast it comes around and how much it casts, so we are doing it all now.

What I need are some recommendations. I don't necessarily need suggestions as I know certain bits of WA quite well, and I have family out there. I am more interested in a kind of top 10 to do list.

What have you done and could honestly say that you absolutely loved it?

What would you say that needs to be done before you die type thing?


Thanks in advance guys.

Hmmm..I went to WA couple of years ago and really loved it. I'm guessing if it's not your first time you've done a fair few things already.

We were only one week in Perth itself then drove down to Bunbury, Busselton, stayed in Dunsborough and visited Margaret River and gosh, erm Albany I think. So I can't really give you any must see places as no doubt you've already seen those?

I want to go back and visit Broome, that place looks amazing.

Never been to WA.

But we have very very close friends who manage a mine in the Kimberleys.

I could arrange for you to go and have a visit. ( I think )

Be something different

Gosh Matt, you have me stumped. I would say take a trip up to Coral Bay and go snorkeling on Ningaloo Reef would be a must for me.Welcome to Ningaloo Reef Dive, Coral Bay, Western Australia

I will think on it.

I have to say I`ve been here a year and not done much on my wishlist - my top one is swimming with the Whalesharks at Ningaloo, depends on the time of year though
