How to Get to Perth
Getting to Perth is convenient and easy to organize. Perth has the largest airport in Western Australia and can be reached by plane from many destinations. These include domestic flights from smaller cities or the west coast of Australia. But also long-haul flights, mostly from Asia, like Kuala Lumpur, Bali, and Bangkok, are a great starting point if you want to travel to Perth. You can find a precise selection of airlines, times, and prices at Skyscanner.
To reach Perth within Australia, there are several other options. These include trains or long-distance buses. You can find a selection at TransWA, where all the different possibilities are presented. You’ll learn which places are on the railway line and which ones, for example, can only be reached by bus.
The last alternative is your own car or a rental car/camper. If you’re on an Australia road trip and also want to get to Perth, there are many routes available. In our opinion, the most beautiful is along Highway 1 on the south coast, which leads from Adelaide along Esperance and Albany to Perth.
