1️⃣ Perth → Lancelin White Sand Dunes
Depart from the city and arrive in 1.5 hours. The white sand is formed by millennia of shell weathering, delicate and clean. From afar, it looks like stepping into a sand dune movie scene, with a full visual impact. You can go sandboarding here, which kids love, and it’s great for photos.
2️⃣ White Sand Dunes → Pinnacles Desert
About 1 hour by car. The limestone pillars are formed by weathering, creating a strong desert vibe, like entering an alien secret realm. You can teach kids some geology knowledge while playing and learning. Prepare fly repellent in advance and bring fly masks for the kids.
3️⃣ Pinnacles Desert → Lobster Factory
0.3 hours by car. Have lunch here and enjoy authentic fresh Western Australian lobster, which can be steamed without spice, suitable for kids.
4️⃣ Lobster Factory → Greenough Weird Trees
2.5 hours by car. Along the way, you can see stretches of trees bent by sea winds, perfect for check-in photos. Kids are very interested in the crooked-neck trees.
5️⃣ Weird Trees → Geraldton
Drive another hour to Geraldton, the largest city in central Western Australia. The seaside sunset is stunning. Use a crystal ball to take atmospheric family photos, so beautiful it leaves you speechless. If the weather is good, you can also go stargazing nearby and teach kids about the stars.
6️⃣ Next day → Hutt Lagoon (Pink Lake)
Depart from Geraldton and arrive in 1 hour. The lake water is a stunning pink due to algae and is also the filming location for the "Pink Ocean" music video. Kids get very excited seeing the pink lake, and it’s great for family photos.
