Western Australia stretches vast and varied, and for adventure riders, the contrast between the South West and the Kimberley is part of its appeal.

In the South West, the central town of Margaret River anchors a network of scenic rides through karri forests, vineyards, and rugged coastline. Gravel backroads twist between national parks, while sealed curves hug the coast from Busselton to Albany. This is relaxed, scenic riding — perfect for weekends that mix adventure with good food, tall timber, and ocean views.

At the opposite extreme, the Kimberley is raw and remote. From Kununurra, riders can tackle the famous Gibb River Road, pushing through river crossings, rocky escarpments, and wide open savannah. The region’s highlights — the Bungle Bungles, Mitchell Plateau, and Pentecost River crossing — are the stuff of rider legend. Here, planning and resilience are essential, but the reward is unmatched: some of the most spectacular and isolated riding in the country.

Together, these two regions showcase WA’s dual personality: lush and coastal in the south, rugged and frontier in the north. For those chasing variety, few places in Australia can deliver such dramatically different adventures within one state.
