Experience the Subtle Magic of Autumn in Western Australia

When we think of autumn, striking fiery leaves often come to mind and one of the best places to experience this spellbinding season is in extraordinary Western Australia.

But just what exactly is there to do in Western Australia? Here are the five best things to do in Western Australia during autumn:

1. Get close and personal with the world’s largest mammal

Did you know? Each year, the elusive blue whales gather to feed on krill at the Perth Canyon – which is larger than the Grand Canyon, except it is under water!

2. Experience the natural wonders at Rottnest Island

If you’re looking for a picturesque scenery with a balance of adventure and casual atmosphere, sunny Rottnest Island is where you’ll want to be.

Cross your fingers and you’ll get to spot what has been dubbed as the happiest animal on Earth – the Quokka! They’re camera shy, so approach them slowly, or you could miss the chance to take a selfie with these incredibly photogenic marsupials.

3. Great food, fantastic music and amazing company at the Fish & Sips Festival

Foodies will know that any trip would be incomplete without sampling some local delicacies. Fortunately, there’s the annual Fish & Sips Festival, which is scheduled to be held from 29 to 31 March in North Freemantle, a suburb of Perth.

4. Indulge on healthy, juicy fruits, fresh from the tree!

Since fruit seasons in Perth change from stone fruit in summer to apples and pears in autumn, tourists will be able to get their hands on some of the most delectable fruits in Western Australia.

Located only 30km from the Perth’s Central Business District (CBD), Raeburn Orchards has long been a local favourite and is considered as one of the pioneers in the orchard community.

5. Witness Kylie Minogue on Stage

Calling all Kylie fans! Are you ready for behind-the-scenes access to one of Australia's biggest icons? Kylie on Stage at the WA Maritime Museum will be celebrating her 25-year international concert career with extravagant costumes and monumental moments to relive her singing career.

The Museum opens daily from 9.30am – 5.00pm and is within walking distance of Fremantle Station, at the port of Freemantle.
