Western Australian Transport Western Australia is Australia's biggest state, a place with wilderness areas bigger than some overseas countries. In straight line terms, the state is 2600 kilometres (1625 miles) north-south and 1600 kilometres (1000 miles) east-west. With distances like this to contend with, it's essential that transport arrangements, and the time involved, are carefully considered. There is no shortage of flights to all of the regional WA towns and bus services also run the major highway through to Darwin and all major centres along the way. A network of sealed roads cover the state's major centres but off the major routes, expect unsurfaced roads. |
