ITINERARY:
H Backpacker Hostel
FS Farmstay
Day 1 -
Perth to Pemberton (FS)
Departing Perth early
we make our way south down the coast road via Mandurah and
the Dawesville Cut, a man made canal between the Indian Ocean
and the Peel Inlet. Further south we make our first stop at
the Dolphin Discovery Centre on Koombana Bay in Bunbury. Here
we have time to stretch our legs and learn all about the dolphins
that make this area their home. If we are lucky the dolphins
will make one of their frequent visits to the beach. We then
journey down through the majestic Ludlow Tuart Forest, the
largest remaining Tuart forest in the world, and on to our
next destination, the Busselton Jetty. Here we take time to
marvel at the historic jetty and take in sweeping views of
Geographe Bay. Back on the bus and onto Yallingup for lunch
and a tour of Ngilgi Cave. After lunch we make a short stop
at Canal Rocks before making our way south along Caves Road
where we have the chance to stop and sample some wine at one
of the many wineries that have put Margaret River on the map.
Next stop the famous surf break of Margaret River (Prevelly
Park) before going into Margaret River itself for a look around.
The first day is drawing to a close so we make our way to
our first nights accommodation at Pemberton Forest Stay cottages.
(LD)
Day 2 -
Pemberton to Albany (H)
We wake this morning
to the sights and sounds of the south west. After breakfast
we make our way further south through the Karri forest to
the largest challenge of the tour, the 60 meter plus climb
to the top of the Bicentennial Tree. The Bicentennial Tree
is the highest tree top lookout in the world. We need a short
break to recover from the breathtaking views before we depart
for our next destination, The Valley of the Giants and the
Tree Top Walk. Here we have the opportunity to take a walk
through the canopy of the ancient Tingle forest, 40 meters
above the forest floor. It's not long before we are back on
the bus making our way towards William Bay National Park.
We take time out here to view the large granite formations
known as Elephant Rocks and to take a dip in the clear waters
of Greens Pool. The sun is high in the sky and it is time
to head east taking a short break in Denmark before we finish
the day by checking out some of the south's natural coastal
phenomena The Blow Holes, The Natural Bridge and the awe inspiring
The Gap. A long day has ended and we retire in Albany for
our last night together. (BLD)
Day 3 -
Albany to Esperance (H)
We start the morning
with a drive to the top of Mt Clarence, which will give us
spectacular views of King George Sound, the outer islands
and the Albany Township. From here we stop at Middleton Beach
with the chance to walk along the heritage boardwalk, have
a coffee in the cafe or just walk along the beach. Mid morning
and it is time to tackle the climb up Castle Rock in the Porongurup
Ranges. After lunch we start our journey towards Esperance.
Along the way we drive through the magnificent Stirling Ranges
stopping at Bluff Knoll. Here we pause to take in the sites
of the National Park and surrounding countryside. Late afternoon
we arrive in the jewel of the south, Esperance. (BLD)
Day 4 -
Esperance (H)
This morning we have
short distance to travel to the pristine Cape Le Grand National
Park. We take the opportunity here to swim, relax and frolic
on the sunny sandy beaches of Lucky Bay. If we're lucky the
Kangaroos, Dolphins and Whales (in season) will be out to
greet us. Mid afternoon we make the journey along the Great
Ocean Road stopping along the way at Nine Mile Beach, Windmill
Farm, Pink Lake and take in the views of the Southern Ocean
and the Archipelago Of The Recherchι from Observatory Point.
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
An early rise this
morning as we head west through the wheat and sheep farming
region of the Great Southern. We have a short break for morning
tea at one of the local towns before travelling on to Hyden
where we marvel at one of natures fascinating creations, Wave
Rock and the Hippo's Yawn. It's then time for the last leg
of the journey to Perth, stopping at Corrigin along the way
to pay our respects to mans 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.
