2024-07 Western Australia, Indian Pacific and Sydney

Not long after returning from our Europe trip, we were off again. This time to Western Australia for a few days before boarding the Indian Pacific train from Perth to Sydney.

Around Bunbury

We stayed in Bunbury for 3 nights. The first day, the weather was not great and so we went to the Dolphin Discovery Centre which has a nice aquarium.

Around Dunsborough

We headed off to Dunsborough by way of the Tuart forest and Busselton Jetty. Whilst in Dunsborough, we did a couple of hikes. One from Cape Naturaliste to Sugarloaf rock and the other up from Yallingup Beach to Ngilgi Cave.

Perth

We left Dunsborough and headed north to Perth for a couple of nights before heading off on the Indian Pacific. Whilst there we took the train to Freemantle for a look at the Freemantle markets and a trip to Little Creatures Brewery. The hotel in Perth was booked as part of the Indian Pacific trip and was the Ritz Carlton. It’s one of the finest hotels in which we have ever stayed.

The Indian Pacific

We were picked up by our chauffeur at 08:00 and transferred to Perth East terminal to board the Indian Pacific, our home for3 nights as in crossed Australia from the Indian (Perth) to the Pacific (Sydney) oceans via Adelaide.

Sydney

The Indian Pacific delivered us safely to Sydney where we had a couple of nights and visited Taronga Zoo.
