Itinerary & Accommodation Snapshot
Download ItineraryUpon arrival in Perth at your CBD hotel, you will be met by your Tour Director. From here, we’ll take an informative tour of the city including Kings Park, with the opportunity to take a walk through the Botanical Gardens. Meal (D)
This morning, we travel south and follow the Darling Escarpment. We head to the Northern Jarrah Forest and visit the Forest Discovery Centre in Dwellingup for a history lesson on the forestry industry of WA. We continue on to Harvey, a large dairy and fruit growing area. From here, we explore deeper into orchard country, on to Donnybrook and into the vast Karri and Marri Forests of the Manjimup region. Then, we visit St Aidan Wines for a delicious lunch. Meals (B.L.D)
This morning we take a trip to the Cascades in Gloucester National Park. The Lefroy Brook is an impressive sight as it tumbles over the Cascades. We carry on through the National park to view the Gloucester Tree which was once the second highest fire lookout tree in the world; however, it is no longer used for this purpose. We then join the Pemberton Tramway as it shuffles out of Pemberton and descends deep into the Karri Forest. The tram meanders along the historic line crossing three bridges, stopping at the Cascades before returning to the station.
After some free time in Pemberton, we head to Silkwood Estate. Perched lakeside and with panoramic views of the Karri Forest, this is the perfect place to enjoy award winning wines and lunch.
Later we return to Karri Valley Resort to enjoy the wonderful facilities of the property; a canoe trip on the lake or a walk to the falls. Meals (B.L.D)
Today, we head to the most south-westerly point of the Australian mainland, Cape Leeuwin. Here, we will take a guided tour of the historic lighthouse and view the changing colours at the meeting point of the Indian and Southern Oceans. We travel via Caves Road and take in several of the famous surfing beaches of this region, including Prevelly Beach and Gracetown before arriving in Yallingup. We then visit the Caves House Hotel for lunch, before arriving at Bunker Bay later this afternoon. Meals (B.L.D)
Today is a day to experience the fare from the South West. First up, we visit the Margaret River Chocolate Company for a self-guided tour.
