What better way to explore the Pilbara region and beyond than on a bright red postie bike – probably the most unsuitable vehicle to attempt such an adventure on. The Red Dog Pilbara Postie Bike Challenge is a nine-day action-packed adventure through one of Australia’s most incredible landscapes. The Red Dog Pilbara Postie Bike Challenge takes place from 13-21st September 2019, with a view to having more tours around different times of the year. From Paraburdoo, you’ll ride the route of Red Dog, Australia’s favourite four-legged friend.

One of the most unique aspects of Australia’s mid-west region is the architectural legacy of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes. Often described as masterpieces and some of the greatest architectural works in WA, Signor Hawes’ work can be seen throughout the towns of the mid-west including in Geraldton, Northampton, Mullewa, Morrawa, Perenjori Yalgoo and Carnarvon. Hawes left Western Australia in 1939 and continued his work in the Bahamas and other countries. The trail starts in New Norcia and weaves its way through the mid-west region to Geraldton.

I’m a frequent visitor to Rottnest Island and I simply think it’s the best day trip from Perth. Although the ferry price can be a sting to the wallet for any budget-conscious travellers, Rottnest Island is worth a visiting, especially if you plan it right

While it’s not the most luxurious option the campground offers a convenient and relatively affordable way to stay overnight on Rottnest Island. This is a good option if you have lots of luggage as you can park right next to the check-in area and unload without having to carry your gear too far. There are size and weight restrictions for luggage including for hand luggage that you can take on board. There are additional charges for extra luggage, sports equipment including bikes and surfboards as well as a surcharge for overnight stays.
