Set off on a spectacular South West Australia road trip from Perth to Esperance. The stunning south-west, an often overlooked area of Australia, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches you will find anywhere in the world. Easily accessible by the Western Australian capital, Perth, this region is certainly one to consider when planning a trip to Australia. Experience outstanding food and wine in Margaret River, explore the sleepy seaside town of Albany and visit the extraordinary Cape Le Grand National Park, where it’s not unusual to spot kangaroos lying on the vast stretches of beach!

On arrival in Perth, make your own way to your hotel in Perth city. The rest of the day is yours to explore, take a walk around the CBD or jump on a bus and head to one of the lovely beaches located just outside Perth. Fremantle is a firm favourite with not only a lovely beach, but a quirky feel and a brewery for Little Creatures beers, a great place to stop off for some food and a taste of some local offerings!
Today you will collect your car and begin your drive to Margaret River, approximately 3 hours away. On arrival check into your hotel for a 2-night stay.

We have given you a whole extra day here, be sure to head to the Cape Le Grand National Park, home to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the whole of Australia as well as a whole host of wildlife including pygmy possums and grey kangaroos, some of which can regularly be found lounging on the vast expanses of white sands, we guarantee this will be one of your favourite destinations.
