Take the 50-minute drive to Busselton (Undalup) for breakfast overlooking Geographe Bay and the longest timber jetty in the southern hemisphere – Busselton Jetty. Walk the 1.8-kilometre jetty or ride the train, and take a tour of Australia’s greatest artificial reef. The Underwater Observatory is your window to the colourful sponges, corals and marine life, but you can opt to snorkel or dive the jetty for a closer encounter. From here, it’s another 25-minute drive to reach Dunsborough and Yallingup for lunch. Discover the natural wonders, history and legends of Ngilgi Cave, and experience one of the oldest surviving cultures on Earth by joining an Aboriginal culture tour of the cave. Take a drive out to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse to catch an Indian Ocean sunset, stopping to stroll on the pristine beaches of Bunker Bay and Meelup Beach along the way. Between June and December, migrating humpback and southern right whales can be spotted from this vantage point. Whale watching tours are also available from Busselton and Dunsborough. Continue south on scenic Caves Road and take your pick from Margaret River’s many accommodation options, from quaint bed and breakfasts to luxury lodges and spa retreats. Take a walk on the Cape to Cape Track – one of the most diverse coastal trails on Earth. Or grab a coffee and watch the local surfers in action. You’ll find 40 top surfing spots around Margaret River, but Surfers Point near Prevelly – home to the internationally-renowned annual Margaret River Pro competition – is arguably the most famous. Hop between cellar doors to sample the region’s premium wines, and stop by the local gourmet produce stores to taste fine artisanal foods and gather fresh ingredients for dinner. If you don’t feel like cooking, take your pick from Margaret River’s many restaurants and award-winning chefs – check out the Australian Good Food Guide for more information.
