Listen up! WA is NOT the kind of place you can blindly rush into. After my trip, I realized it’s full of tourist traps—here’s how to avoid them! 🚨 WA Travel Traps ❌ Trap 1: Trying to visit every attraction (you’ll exhaust yourself!). ❌ Trap 2: The "since we’re here" mentality drains your wallet fast! 💸 ❌ Trap 3: Post-trip depression is REAL because WA is too amazing. ⚠️ If You Must Go… Here’s How to Survive: 1️⃣ Mobile Signal? Set your provider to 4G/2G priority – no service in remote areas! 📵 2️⃣ Weather Woes: Pack a high-performance jacket (huge temp swings!) + hardcore sun protection (WA sun is ruthless!). ☀️🧴 3️⃣ Route Pick: North = Classic 1st-timer spots / South = Cooler in Feb (less crowded!). 4️⃣ Food Warning: Don’t trust random recommendations – Google Maps reviews are safer! 🍴 5️⃣ Flights: Fly direct to Perth for the North route; drive from Sydney/Melbourne for the South route. ✈️🚗 6️⃣ Hotel Hack: Bring toothbrush, toothpaste & slippers – most hotels DON’T provide them! 🏨 7️⃣ Bug Defense: A mosquito-net hat is a MUST + carry extra water for hikes! 🦟💦 8️⃣ Quokka Fix: Rottnest Island is non-negotiable for cute quokka selfies! 🥹📸 🌸 Foolproof WA Itinerary (No Regrets!)
