I'm struggling to work out the most sensible/cheapest way to see some of WA.
I don't want to give up on it but it seems to be a bit of a logistical nightmare if you don't drive. I've so far just been looking at going to Perth then getting back to the east coast (I'm looking at Brisbane or Cairns) from Karratha or Exmouth and it seems I'd need to fly back to Perth again then onwards which wastes time and money. Then I'm struggling to find any information at all about public transport to travel northwards which makes me very sceptical of it's availability. I don't want to end up stuck in small towns for more than a few days because then I'm spending on food and accommodation but I need to be pretty quick on this leg to keep costs down, say 7-10 days. Which leads to me to conclude that I might have to do a tour that starts and ends in Perth which seem awfully expensive.
Am I missing something? Any experiences of travelling WA? I don't want to give up on it but by the time I factor in flights I could easily spend $1000 in 10 days which I really can't justify.
