Itinerary

Day 1 : Perth to Augusta

We leave early this morning travelling south to the historic Busselton Jetty and picturesque Geographe Bay. After lunch in the Yallingup area, we tour Ngilgi Cave and travel along Caves Road where we stop to sample some of the locally produced Margaret River Wines. We see the famous Prevelly Park surf break before arriving in Margaret River, with time to wander the art and craft galleries before the short journey to Augusta. (LD)

Day 2 : Augusta to Albany

After breakfast we make our way towards the Karri forests and the 75 metre high Bicentennial Tree (you have the opportunity to climb it!). Our next destination is the Valley of the Giants and the Tree Top Walk. Here we walk through the canopy of the ancient tingle forest, 40 metres above the forest floor. At William Bay National Park we view the large granite formations of Elephant Rocks and take a dip in the clear waters of Greens Pool. Travelling east via Denmark we finish the day at The Blow Holes, The Natural Bridge and awe inspiring The Gap before arriving at Albany. (BLD)

Day 3 : Albany to Esperance

From the top of Mt Clarence we have spectacular views of King George Sound, the outer islands and Albany. At Middleton Beach we take a stroll along the heritage boardwalk and check out the beach. Later we travel to Castle Rock, where we climb to the top for stunning views of the Stirling Ranges before travelling on to Esperance. (BLD)

Day 4 : Esperance

This morning is spent in the Cape Le Grand National Park where we swim, relax and frolic on the sunny sandy beaches and make the short hike up Frenchman’s Peak. Keep a watch for kangaroos, dolphins and whales (in season). Mid afternoon we make the journey along the Great Ocean Road with views of the magnificent Southern Ocean coastline and the Archipelago of the Recherch. As the sun goes down its time to put your feet up, relax and reflect on a magical day. (BLD)

Day 5 : Esperance to Perth

It’s an early rise this morning as we head west through the wheat and sheep farming region of the Great South as we travel to Hyden. Here we marvel at one of natures fascinating creations, Wave Rock and the Hippo’s Yawn. We begin our last leg of the journey to Perth, stopping at Corrigin along the way to pay our respects to man’s best friend at the Dog Cemetery. Finally we travel to our final destination via the historic town of York – the first settlement outside of Perth. As we descend the Darling Range back into the city we have startling views of Perth where, sadly, we say farewell to our new friends. (BL)
