Beached on the Batavia Coast

Driving along the coast from Perth to Geraldton is an exciting, historical journey.

The new Indian Ocean Drive, from Perth to Geraldton in Western Australia, is a godsend to motorists. Until a couple of years ago, those travelling north from Nambung National Park, with its awesome “Pinnacles” formations, were forced to take a 50km inland detour before rejoining the northern coast road. With the southern Perth-Lancellin-Cervantes link completed, it is now possible to drive along the coast from Perth to Geraldton.
