Drive through towering forests, swim with dolphins, watch migrating whales, surf big waves, explore dramatic coastline, eat fresh seafood or sip a glass of local wine; all in a day's work in the South West of W.A.
Cool, green, undulating landscapes and the earthy warmth of the forests; wild coastal scenes with foaming breakers and bountiful fishing; the lowing of milk-laden cows and the bleating of sheep. Enjoy an array of alternatives from majestic Karri forests to world class wineries, to the peaks of the Stirling Ranges; there is something for everyone.
To stay in a family home or a secluded cottage and share in the country life is a memorable experience in this scenic part of Western Australia.
