(For Crankypants)
What started as a field trip to Western Australia for my neighbor Crankypants turned into an adventure too big for a field trip post. I was astounded by a land with picturesque scenery rivaled only by the unique diversity of each of the 5 regions. So much so that I couldn't even pick representative photographs to offer - they were all too extremely spectacular. However, I promise you I hand picked the best, most colorful, content rich sites I could find. I apologize for the lack of photographic evidence, but if you follow the links I don't think you'll be disappointed. I hope you will be surprised by what all you find!
We'll start with the North West which is fairly tropical and rugged with a diverse topography ranging from pristine white sand beaches to the edge of the outback. However, it is also home to over 27 varieties of hazardous animals, including something called a bird eating spider that I don't have the nerve to look for a picture of.
The Golden Outback despite what I always thought, is a deep and lush place full of wildflowers.
The Coral Coast - the Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef - I think here IS where you go for diving. I mean the Indian Ocean, Yeah, I am pretty sure there's good diving.
Perth like every other region - I swear, has it all.
The South West which seems to be a polar opposite of the NW, offering golf, wineries, and cave exploring!
One very helpful, informative site that I really like, says there are four regions, North, South, the Heartlands, and Perth.
Either way, I can see why Cranky is entranced.
