The
South West region of Western Australia has an allure that is hard
to resist. It offers its visitors the opportunity to indulge in
premium Western Australian wines and gourmet food, amidst towering
old growth karri forests, beautiful beaches and scenic rolling farmlands.
In the South West there are 3 wine regions to experience; excellent
fishing, swimming and surfing spots; the largest dive wreck in the
southern hemisphere; caves to explore; fine art and craft galleries
to browse through and quaint historic towns.
Also on offer, a variety of unique nature-based experiences including
the opportunity to swim beside wild dolphins; wildlife spotting
at night with torches; and a walk amongst some of the oldest and
tallest trees in the State.
The best way to absorb the sights and sounds of the South West
is by car. The drive from Perth takes approximately 2 - 3 hours
depending on how deeply into the region you travel, but there are
numerous coach companies and air charters that travel to the region
for those who are limited by time. (For more Western Australian
