Best hiking trails in Western Australia
Western Australia is a state of very long walks and very remote ones: karri and jarrah forest through the south west, granite coast and wildflower heath across the Great Southern, the gorges of Karijini in the Pilbara, and Ningaloo meeting the range at Cape Range. Distances between trailheads and help are the real variable here — on much of this list, self-sufficiency is the skill that counts.
