Western Australia is the third largest State of Australia and covers approximately one-third of the Australian continent. Statistically, it covers 2,525,500 square kilometers, with 12,500 kilometers long coastline. After the Sakha Republic in Russia, it is the largest subnational entity in the world. The State is largely deserted with a population of just over 1.8 million out of which about 1.5 million live in and around the capital city of Perth.
Perth enjoys maximum sunshine of all the Australian State capitals. The sandy beaches stretching along a vast coastline are the obvious choice for visitors in this part of Australia. Swimming, fishing, diving, snorkeling and surfing are some of the exciting activities you can look forward to in Western Australia.
The State is known for its mining industries. Western Australia is leading alumina extractor producing more than 20% of the world's alumina. The region also extracts up to 75% of Australia's 240 tonnes of gold. Diamonds are extracted at Argyle Diamond Mine in the North West. Other natural resources mined in Western Australia include iron, coal, natural gas and nickel.
Western Australia is also home to some major wine producing regions. Most of the State's wineries are located in the South West along the Margaret River and Swan Valley. South of Perth is also home to Fremantle, a gorgeous tourist location.
Western Australia is known as 'The Wildflower State' largely due to the beautiful Spring Wildflowers found in the Central West region north of Perth. A number of National Parks and desert areas dot the Western Australian landscape.
