Australia's Coral Coast

Australia's Coral Coast

Ningaloo Reef, Gorges & Road Trips

Running up the stunning coastline of Western Australia for over 1000km between Cervantes to just north of Exmouth, Australia's Coral Coast is a diverse and beautiful landscape that evokes images of pristine snorkeling, wide open spaces and ancient gorges. The traditional way to experience this amazing place is to enjoy a classic road trip, stopping at the various towns and national parks dotted along the coast. With plenty of great hiking trails and the world class Ningaloo Reef to explore, this is a place that I've really enjoyed exploring, with plenty more trips planned for the future.
