Western Australian Tourism - What is it all about ?

Tourism Western Australia uses the slogan the "Real Australia" but what does that mean...?

A whale shark in your back yard?
The worlds most secluded white sandy beaches?
Although we have these things (in one or two places) these are the icons that are easy to market.

Actually if you REALly look at Western Australia you'll find that 99% of what it has to offer is not even covered by the campaign. Our country life is "the Real Australia", in respect to the proportion of our land mass covered within WA.

Now not all of this is what every one is looking for but, this is our way of life, our "Real Australia" and its from our backyard that we want to share it with you.
