Kalbarri in Western Australia has an amazing landscape with beautiful wilfdflowers, immense rock formations and a beautiful ocean. Just to see all these things you would need to spend at least two days here. And if you're done driving around there's one tourist attraction you should still visit; The Rainbow Jungle.

The Rainbow Jungle in Kalbarri is a zoo specially built for parrots and visitors can walk through several different habitats to see the zoo's parrots. From cockatoos, parrots and lovebirds to parakeets and sun conures, the Rainbow Jungle has them all!

Shark Bay is an important heritage site in Western Australia and close to the seaside town of Denham. Within the site you will find several attractions like the stunning Shell Beach. This amazing beach is entirely made out of little white shells and hugs one of the most beautiful bays in the region. The water is crystal clear and reflects the white glow of the shells which is pretty magical.

Shell Beach covers more than 100 kms of coast and is one of the only two beaches in the world that are completely made up out of sea shells. You actually can't take any shells from the beach as the site is...

Geraldton is a good place to have a look around if you're travelling trough Western Australia because it is one of the bigger towns and a common stop on the Greyhound Bus service route.

Northampton is a tiny town between Geraldton and Kalbarri with a typical Western Australian feel. There is maybe one main road alongside which you'll find some antique shops, clothing boutiques, the local supermarket, the hard ware store and of course a local pub to play bingo.

The old buildings in this copper mining town are worth a visit though and the St. Mary's Church of Northampton is also very charming. Northampton does have a Visitors Centre where you can go for informations on the Northampton Heritage Walk as the town was listed a National Trust classified site for its rich historic value.

The Fremantle Goal was built entirely by convict labour in the late 1800's and only closed in 1991.

Today the Fremantle Goal can be visited daily and tourists...
