2. VISIT THE WINERIES

The unique geography position and soil composition of the Margaret River peninsular means this area producers some of the worlds best wines. You need a car but its well worth driving up or down the coast going from cellar door to cellar door (just make sure you have a designated driver).

There is everything form big name wineries like Vasse Felix, to farm house gates. We found a gem called Ashbrook Estate. THis place is still family run with 5 generations on the farm producing some of the very best wines I have ever tasted.

3. EAT SOME MARRON

Only found in this area Marron live in the creeks and brackish water but do us (and the Marron) a favour – only buy them farmed from the butcher of order them at the restaurant – we want to keep these guys safe for ever.

Cooked they are link a lobster but with a sweeter meatier flesh.

4. VISIT THE KARRI FORESTS

A 25 minute drive south of Margaret River town try the Boranup Drive. You’ll see towering Karri trees over 60m tall. A beautiful forest floor tumbling with wildflowers, orchids and funghi is a feast for the senses.
