Best Family Holiday Activities in Western Australia

Perth city skyline with sailing boats on the Swan River, perfect for family holiday activities in We.

Broome

Broome is one of the most beautiful beachside communities on the map and offers a much more relaxing place to spend the day basking in the sun than the east coast. Check out Cable Beach and be impressed with the Staircase�to the Moon, a natural phenomenon that occurs three nights of each month from March to October in which the low tide creates an optical illusion that there is a staircase that can reach the moon. Check out Cable Beach Resort, a great family friendly accommodation option.

Wave Rock

Wave Rock is a granite cliff 15 metres high and 110 metres long. Its rounded-like shape has been caused by weathering and water erosion which has undercut the base and left a rounded overhang. Water from the springs running down the rock during wetter months dissolve minerals adding to the colouring of the wave. In 1960, crystals from Hyden Rock were dated at being 2700 million years old, which are amongst the oldest in Australia. Read more at the Wave Rock Website�

The Pinnacles

Situated just 17kms south of the townsite, the Pinnacles desert is the major tourist attraction of the region. Attracting around 250,000 visitors every year, the Pinnacles desert covers an area of approximately 190 hectares, is around 60 meters above sea level, and contains thousands of limestone Pinnacles, some up to 5 meters high. The variation in colours (due mainly to the variation in soil types), and the stark relief of the Pinnacles against a backdrop of constantly shifting sand dunes creates an eerie landscape of ever changing moods often viewed at it’s best at dawn or sunset when the shadows create remarkable patterns and shapes that ripple over the sands.
