Seeing as you will be in Australia during December I suggest that the
northern half of Western Australia will be too hot and/or too wet.
You could do worse than hiring a car in Perth and spending your time
driving
through the south western parts of the state. Places like Busselton,
Margaret River, Augusta, Pemberton, Walpole, Albany and Esperance come to
mind.

Gerrit's advice is absolutely on target.

I spent a day and a half in Esperance in December of 2007. The
view of the Southern Ocean is awesome. One day I will return to
OZ with my wife and Esperance is absolutely on my itinerary. I
stayed at the Captain Huon Motel and I would recommend it to anyone.
I also drove across the Nullarbor. If you like the adventure of
driving for hours in the middle of nowhere, you will like the
Nullarbor.

I suggest you do some homework at the official tourism site for WA
http://www.westernaustralia.com/au/P...Australia.aspx

Then if you have further questions ask them here.
I have lived in WA for over 50 years and can ramble on for hours but
really
need to know more specific questions to answer.

Have fun planning.

When I come again to OZ, I'll stop in Albany to have a few pints with you.

You're going to have to make that wine as I don't drink beer. :-)
