Day 1
On day one we make the scenic drive from Perth with a few stops along the way. Firstly the charming seaside town of Mandurah, where we’ll take a coffee break at a café by the foreshore. Then Bunbury where we’ll visit the Featured Wood Gallery & museum, then onto Busselton where we stop for a delicious lunch. Following lunch we take a leisurely walk along the famous Busselton Jetty, the longest timber pile jetty in the southern hemisphere stretching 1.8km out into picturesque Geographe Bay.
After stretching our legs at the jetty we turn for Margaret River where you’ll have some free time in town to stroll along the main street and maybe pick-up a special memento or gift to take home.
As the day winds down we head to the McLeod family farm to see mobs of Western Grey Kangaroos in their natural environment, we might even meet Neil’s friendly horses… Before settling into your accomodation we take a drive to the coast for spectacular views of world class surf breaks, Margaret River hosts the best surfers in the world during April/May each year for the “Margaret River Pro”.
In spring, we have the opportunity to see a spectacular display of native wildflowers on a short bush walk. As the day
