| The Margaret River Wine region of the South West includes those treasures that lie between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin along the coast.
Be sure to take your tastebuds on a tour of the 40 or more wineries in the renowned Margaret River area and sample the premium wines and superb meals offered. Purchase delicious local produce including home-made preserves, berry liqueurs and cheeses, or visit the 3 boutique breweries - each with its own distinct labels.
The merging of regrowth karri forests and pristine beaches is best seen along the Caves Road coastal drive. In the same area you will find galleries containing locally produced works; caves to explore and two lighthouses to climb - the Dunsborough Lighthouse and the Leeuwin Lighthouse - both offering very different and spectacular views of the surrounding oceans.
The fishing in the area is hard to match, particularly along the Augusta coast and Busselton Jetty - the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. You can dive and snorkel on the decommissioned HMAS Swan wreck at Dunsborough; visit the internationally renowned surfing beach at Margaret River; take a whale watching tour between Dunsborough and Augusta where Australia's longest whale watching season takes place; or enjoy one of the many guided tours including forest walks, coastal treks, bush tucker tours or interpretive nature guides.
