Cape Le Grand National Park🦘
I bet you have seen pictures of the kangaroo on the beaches and wondered where it was? Well they were taken in the Cape Le Grand National Park, more specifically Lucky Bay. The kangaroo’s are super tame and they love attention, much like me, 🦘
This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches along this coastline. The water is clear and there are lots of these furry friends all along this stretch. Inside the national park there are lots of other beautiful bays to visit along with a hike to the top of Frenchman’s Peak.

Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay 💦
Our favourite beach and possibly our top pick from our Instagram locations in Western Australia is this one at Two Peoples Bay. This iconic rock formation is in the middle of a secluded beach called Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve. The sand doesn’t stick to you and dolphins can be seen regularly playing in this cove. This spot is defiantly one of the most beautiful places in Western Australia.
↠ We have written a whole blog post about Little Beach, Two Peoples Bay

If you have a fear of heights, this is probably the coolest place to overcome your worst nightmare. Hangover the edge safely, and watch the waves beneath your feet. Be careful with drones as it can get very windy!

Elephant Rocks / Green pools🐘
Walk among the giants at Elephant Rocks and check out why they got their name. This image was taken on a drone but anywhere you point your camera will give you a great photo.

Hamelin Bay, Western Australia🎣
Have you ever walked into the ocean and been surrounded by two types of Sting Ray? We didn’t think so! Hamlin Bay is the home of the Eagle Ray and the Smooth Stingray. They are the friendly residents that are protected here in WA. They patrol the beach in search of scraps of food the fishermen and tourists leave behind.
TRAVEL TIP ↠ Splash your hands around and they will swim right up to you. Grab some food for them at the shop and hand-feed them.
↠Our Hamelin Bay blog covers the best times to see these beautiful rays.
↠📍 LOCATION
Margaret River 🍷
Something a little different for our Instagram locations in Western Australia. Margret River is one of the most beautiful regions in Western Australia. The weather is that of a Mediterranean climate which produces rich landscapes. Take a wine, cheese, or chocolate tour and on your way home, pop into this amazing place. We flew the drone up to help us find the way out!

Injidup Natural Spa Instagram Location🧖
A wonder of nature, a natural spa! Hidden between a beach and the sea, you will find this natural spa. It is quite a climb down so wear suitable shoes. Once you reach the bottom, sit back and wait for the waves to come crashing over the rocks. This attraction is of course tide dependant so be careful when entering this area, king waves can kill. Oh and there are plenty of sharks the other side of this rock, so make sure you can swim fast 😉
↠Our Injidup Natural Spa Guide will help you explore.

Busselton Jetty 💙
This jetty is 1.8 km long, the second-longest wooden jetty in the world. We walked all the way to the end trying to spot some whales out to sea. At the end of this jetty, there is an underwater aquarium and more attractions. Don’t worry if walking it’s not your thing, there is a train that can take you right to the end.
To the right of the Jetty is the swimming area with this square smaller jetty around it. Surrounded by shark nets, its the perfect place to swim after the long walk around the other jetty, pictured above.
↠📍 LOCATION
Black Diamond Lake, Collie, Western Australia🍍
Our favourite weekend getaway from Perth is Black Diamond Lake. Grab your floatie and head to this bright blue lake. Once an old mine site, now it is the perfect place to pull up, whip out a bbq and have some beers in the sun. There are also several other lakes and rivers to visit whilst you are in the Collie area. Stockton lake is another favourite of ours.

Perth Instagram Locations – Fremantle Container Rainbow🌈
Freo’s most iconic landmark is the Rainbow made from containers along the main road. We found a residential road close by and walked over the road to this rainbow. Not only does it do wonders for the LGBT community, but it also does wonders for your Instagram feed. Give your photos the pop of colour they need! This shot was taken at sunset, we recommend visiting here rather than at sunrise.

Instagram locations in Western Australia are becoming ever more popular. This spot is probably the most annoying one we visited. We turned up to this spot at 4:30 am and someone had already set up a time-lapse of the sunrise so we weren’t able to get our photos. We have also heard of our friends queuing up and the people behind you are not forgiving. It seems very stressful but from the photos we’ve seen, it looks worth it.

If you like road trips, then this ones perfect for you. We drove to Jurien Bay with a few friends, got out the blanket, and watched the world go by. The old pier is a great shot with a drone. It is also the start of a snorkelling trail for those that want to explore under the waves.
↠📍 LOCATION
Hutt Lagoon 🦩
Bubble gum lake also known as Hutt Lagoon! This pink salt lake stretches for miles but there is a dedicated parking area to stop here and take photos. We climbed down and I managed to trip and sink into the mud below the salt. It hurt a lot so be careful where you step! Pinkness depends on rainfall, it is not Photoshop. Don’t @ us.

This place is one of the reasons why Shark Bay is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. We had no idea what stromatolites even were before we stopped here. To be honest we still don’t understand but it was pretty epic to witness.

The entrance to the Quobba Station is where you will find the King Waves Kills famous sign. If you turn left, you can witness Quobba Blowholes.

Cactus Garden Carnarvon 🌵
A cactus garden in the middle of a Fruit Loop! 🌵🌵🍌 This was actually in someone’s front garden hidden away behind the plantations. It’s ‘Insta Famous’ title has put it on the map but it was kinda hard to find. We were the only ones here and it got a little bit spooky with the whale skeleton next to us.
More than 50% of Western Australia’s fruit and veg come from Carnarvon!

OTC Satellite Dish Carnarvon 📡
↠ On 21 July 1969, the day of the Apollo 11 moon landing, this bad boy relayed Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon from NASA’s Honey Suckle Creek Tracking Station to Perth’s TV audience. 📡 Making it the first live telecast into Western Australia. It was pretty impressive to stand under the ‘sugar scoop’ but it got us thinking.. this must be able to pick up aliens 👽

Imagine a band around the middle of the world. The Tropic of Capricorn is the bottom area of the band and The Tropic of Cancer is the top area ♑ in between these two areas are where the Sun can be directly overhead and where it’s rays strike the planet exactly perpendicular to its surface.
