The Mid West region of Western Australia is located in the western middle section of the state, bordering the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pilbara to the north. It stretches from Green Head to Kalbarri along the coast, and extends inland to Meekatharra and Sandstone. The region includes the city of Geraldton as its major service hub.
It offers diverse tourism experiences, from coastal Geraldton to inland wildflower country and historic gold mining towns. It's known for natural attractions like Kalbarri National Park with Nature's Window, and the pink Hutt Lagoon.
The landscape along the coast is Mediterranean, with rolling terrain and enough rainfall for livestock farming. This attracted European settlement, but the arid interior was little exploited until the discovery of gold and other minerals. A string of mining towns then developed inland, though the workings were never on the scale of Pilbara to the north or Goldfields region to the south.
So to most visitors the Mid West means its coastal strip.
The Mid West however offers a combination of coastal access and vast, inspiring natural landscapes.
The region has a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It experiences sunshine for most of the year, but with reliable winter rainfall and a generally sunny and warm climate throughout.
