After arriving in the west, enjoy sightseeing in Perth and Fremantle along with a Swan River cruise before exploring the Pinnacles and taking in the sights on a four-day South West Tour and capping off the fun with a full day with the quokkas on Rottnest Island before the next day return flight to Brisbane.
