Day 1 : Perth - Margaret River (175 miles)
Collect your rental car and drive south from Perth, through the rolling farm lands of the south west hinterland, that will put you on the edge of the world-famous vineyards of Margaret River. The Capel Vale region, on the northern fringe, makes an ideal starting point for your food and wine indulgence and offers some excellent reds and whites. The Margaret River wine region is relatively compact and very easy to navigate. Make your first stop the visitors’ centre in the main street where you will find maps along with some tips on some of the local gourmet dining secrets. Nestled between farmlands and the coast, Margaret River is spoiled with top quality farm produce, fresh seafood, and the local specialty - Marron.
Day 2-3 : Exploring Margaret River region
Two days to make the most of the region. Perhaps head for the coast to Augusta and the famous lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin where the Indian and Southern oceans meet. Wind your way back through tree lined country roads with wineries and farms where you can see the produce and enjoy a superb lunch too.
Day 4 : Margaret River – Perth (175 miles)
Head back to Perth today, perhaps stopping in Mandurah, a bustling year round resort where you’ll find a host of bird and marine life close to the shore; dolphins are a common sight. Return your car eitherat the airport or downtown Hertz office.
