Best 4x4 tracks near Perth

Western Australia is massive – it’ll take you 24 hours to drive from Perth to Broome! – but there are some ripping 4WD tracks close to the state’s capital.

Day-trippers can bask in the beauty of Walyunga National Park, only 50km northeast of Perth, or weekenders can venture a tad further to a bunch of the state’s other great National Parks.

All of these parks are worth the journey and will certainly warrant a return visit. Have you got a favourite track we missed? Add it to the comments below.
