Tour Description

You could spend months exploring Western Australia, but with the right crew, 10 days can go a long way. Margaret River, where superb wineries make a strong case for lingering a little longer. Gold-rush ghost towns and impressive Wave Rock formation, kangaroos on Lucky Bay and quokkas over on Rottnest Island. You've got a journey that packs in plenty without feeling rushed. This trip is accompanied by a Travel Director and Driver.

Itinerary

Welcome to Perth

Day 1

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Holiday Inn West Perth

Perth may be the Western Australian capital, but it’s home to a remarkable amount of green space. Join your Travel Director for a city tour and a stroll through inner-city Kings Park, home to more than 3,000 floral species in the Botanic Garden overlooking the Swan River. Meet again this evening for dinner with your Travel Director and travelling companions.

Perth - Margaret River

Day 2

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Margarets in Town

Travel to Busselton, home to the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Tip your cap to those who built this 1.8-kilometre structure out into Geographe Bay. Continue to the Margaret River region of Western Australia deserves its reputation as one of the county’s top grape-growing areas. The Margaret River’s 200 vineyards produce 25 per cent of Australia’s premium wines. There are too many high-quality vineyards to name here. So, we’ll give you just one: Xanadu Wines. For almost 50 years, this estate has been producing wines that celebrate this unique corner of the state, where the Indian and Southern oceans converge. Its cabernet sauvignon reigns supreme, but the range stretches from sauvignon blanc and chardonnay to rosé and shiraz, which you’ll enjoy during a hosted tasting at the cellar door.

Margaret River - Albany

Day 3

Duration: 1

Accommodation: The Dog Rock Motel

Journey to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, the tallest of its kind in Australia, set at the tip of a peninsula where the Indian and Southern oceans meet. Standing here, the wind in your hair, you’ll feel like you’re on the edge of the Earth. More lofty attractions await. Suspended 40 metres above the forest floor, the Tree Top Walk gives you a bird’s-eye view of the soaring tingle trees that stand large through the Valley of the Giants.

Albany Free Time

Day 4

Duration: 1

Accommodation: The Dog Rock Motel

Nature, history, food and wine… there’s not much that Albany can’t do. The hardest thing you have to do today is decide which direction you want to travel with Optional Experiences*. Perhaps an Albany tour that relives the town’s heritage as the last port of call for ANZAC troopships departing Australia in WWI. Being here is a moving experience that tells the tale of thousands of servicemen. Maybe explore Torndirrup National Park, where steep cliffs give way to dramatic rock formations and whales are a common sight during migration. Or get a taste for the region on a culinary excursion that includes tastings of local cheeses, fudge, chocolate, ice-cream, cider, wines and gins. Better wear your elastic-waisted pants for this one. How you spend your day exploring the region is totally up to you.

Albany - Esperance

Day 5

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Comfort Inn Bay of Isles

Today, travel through some of the most bountiful wilderness areas in the state, including the Stirling Range National Park, filled seasonally with a staggering range of wildflowers (seasonal) – more than 1,500 different species, some of which are found nowhere else on Earth. At scenic Hellfire Bay, meet your Aboriginal guide. On this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, learn about the cultural history of Wudjari people and the rich nature of this stunning area.

Esperance - Kalgoorlie

Day 6

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Rydges Kalgoorlie

Leave the stunning coastline behind and head inland toward Kalgoorlie. View the wide gold rush era streets and buildings of Kalgoorlie and see the vista over the staggering 'Super Pit' open-cut gold mine. Today’s outings continue to gleam as you visit Hannans North Mine – the history here is overwhelming – Kalgoorlie’s ‘Golden Mile’. Nothing quite puts things into perspective like standing next to enormous Haul trucks and loaders.

Kalgoorlie - Wave Rock

Day 7

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Wave Rock Motel

Wave Rock deserves its name – the cliff resembles an enormous surf wave about to crash into the bush. Stretching 110 metres, the rainbow-hued granite swell was formed more than three million years ago. Wave Rock locals are a friendly bunch, and they’re truly passionate about the place they call home. But don’t take our word for it. Meet Sheenagh, who will proudly show you around her farm and discuss life on the land, which can be harsh, but also extremely healing, in a way unique to the wide-open spaces of the Aussie outback.

Wave Rock - Fremantle

Day 8

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Esplanade Hotel Fremantle - by Rydges

Leave the eastern Wheatbelt behind and make your way to the vibrant city of Fremantle. This elegant, energetic port town is known for its narrow, heritage‑lined streets and lively atmosphere. Rich in history, dining, markets and attractions, Fremantle invites you to explore at your own pace for the rest of the day. Why not explore the Fremantle Markets, which boasts over 150 stalls?

Fremantle

Day 9

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Esplanade Hotel Fremantle - by Rydges

Sometimes, the most memorable travel days are those where you lose yourself wandering the foreshore, lingering over lunch or a cool ale. We highly recommend you spend this day of leisure doing just that (Freo’s Little Creatures Brewery is legendary). Of course, there are Optional Experiences, like having a local show you around, with a Fremantle tour revealing those hidden haunts most visitors pass right on by. Or if you’re catching the ferry to Rottnest Island, make sure you have your phone ready to capture selfies with the island’s smiley quokkas, not to mention the blindingly turquoise water.

Farewell Fremantle

Day 10

Duration: 1

10 Days. Too many beaches to count. Wildlife galore. A few wine bottles and a few thousand memories... this trip is one for the record books.
