How to get to Nannup, Western Australia
FLY TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Western Australia is accessed via Perth Airport, the state’s primary international gateway, located in Perth. Perth is well-connected globally, with around 28 international airlines operating direct services from the UK, the Middle East, South Africa, New Zealand and across Asia — making arrival simpler than many international travellers expect.
Frequent domestic flights operate daily from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and Darwin, with flight time from Sydney averaging around four hours.


Once you arrive, onward travel is straightforward. Airport shuttle services connect both terminals with major accommodation areas and transport hubs across the city, while Transperth bus and train services provide easy links between the airport, Perth CBD and surrounding suburbs. A free terminal transfer bus also runs continuously between domestic and international terminals.
From Perth, the South West host region – including Busselton and Nannup – is an easy onward journey by road or organised transfer.
TRAVELLING TO THE SOUTH WEST REGION

From Perth, the Championships host region in Western Australia’s South West is easily reached by road. The drive takes approximately 3.5–4 hours, travelling south via well-maintained highways through changing landscapes of farmland, forest and coastline.
For international visitors, travelling by road is the most flexible option, with rental cars available directly from Perth Airport and throughout the city. Private transfers and shuttle services will also operate during race week, providing convenient connections between Perth, Busselton and Nannup.
Clear signage, straightforward driving conditions and short travel distances make reaching the event simple – allowing riders and spectators to move easily between accommodation, the event hub in Busselton and race activities in Nannup.
