Perth to Monkey Mia - Western Australia's perfect family road trip
As you turn off the North Western Highway at Hamelin Pool onto Shark Bay Road, you can feel yourself getting closer to the coastline.

Once you've reached your destination, head likely swirling with all of the amazing things you've seen along the way, you'll realise this is an ideal Western Australia family road trip - long enough to feel like a proper journey, but compact enough to feel like you've spent more time doing and less time driving.
