There are some interesting things to see outside Perth, like Nambung National Park. It is located within the desert (called The Pinnacles Desert) and mainly consists of unusually shaped rocks. The pinnacles were formed over millions of years and now form some of the most unique shapes on Australian continent. There are many walking paths available inside the park and many rock forms to enjoy.
Western Australia is also known for its gold mines. Here companies like Lihir Gold or Newcrest Mining do a lot of their research and work in order to find more of the noble metal. There are two towns that were especially influenced by the gold rush in the late 19th century – Kalgoorlie and Coolgaride. For nature lovers there is also another coral reef available. It is called The Nigaloo Reef and is the biggest reef on the west coast. Even though it is much smaller than the Great Barrier Reef, it still gives unforgettable memories and is a great place for divers and snorkelers. Other attractions include the West Australian Museum, Art Gallery of Western Australia (which are all part of the Perth Cultural Centre), Swan Bells, the Perth Concert Hall and many more.
