South of Perth travel plan for a Margaret River Wine Experience on a self drive road trip in Australia
� South of Perth travel plan for a Margaret River Wine Experience on a self drive road trip in Australia
5 Days and 4 Nights
� Day 1 Perth to Dunborough
The next 5 days are designed so you can enjoy the fruits of one the most sought after wine regions in the world. Rivalling France and California as a premium wine growing region, the area know as Margaret River is set against a backdrop of rugged coastline, pristine beaches, pounding surf and towering forests. Head south from Perth towards the major southern centres of Bunbury and Busselton. Busselton is a logical stop for lunch and take time to marvel at the 2 kilometre long jetty, longest in the southern hemisphere. Today�s destination is Dunsborough, which sits at the northern end of the region and is a good base from which to visit several wineries as well as the spectacular beaches of Meelup, Eagle Bay and Yallingup. A complete guide of the various wineries, their specialities and facilities are available from many locations in the region.
Suggested overnight stay - Abbey Beach Resort.

� Day 2 Dunsborough to Margaret River
As most of the wineries do not open until 10am, we suggest an early morning swim. The short 5km drive out to either Eagle Bay or Meelup is well worth the effort. As the next 3 days will concentrate on wine, you may wish to consider an unique opportunity to dive over the former Australian Naval ship HMAS Swan which was recently purposely sunk off Dunsborough. Many of the wineries offer eating facilities so consult your guide and chose one where you can combine tastings with lunch and or dinner. Remember to always nominate a �skipper�. As you work your way through the back country lanes past the various wineries and their rolling hills covered with grapes, follow the signs to Margaret River, your home for the next 2 nights.
Suggested overnight stay - Quest Margaret River.

� Day 3 & 4 Margaret River
Again, if a morning swim is the order of the day, the 10km drive to Prevalley Beach will bring you to the home of the annual International Surf Classic. If big waves are only for watching, a few hundred metres down the beach a gentle break is ideal for novices and families.You are now in the heart of this remarkable wine growing the region.The various wineries are too numerous to mention but all are within easy reach of one another, some simply over the road. All offer tastings and some will ship your purchases home for you. Plan your days based on the particular blends that suit your palate or just follow your instincts, you can�t get lost. For the evenings, take advantage of local chefs who combine the best ingredients from the area to offer superb food to compliment the local vintage.
Suggested overnight stay - Quest Margaret River.

� Day 5 Margaret River to Perth
As you make your way north along the Bussell Highway back to Perth, there are several opportunities to sample the local cheese that are also making the region famous. At Bunbury, head inland through Harvey and Pinjarra and marvel at the green rolling hills and variety of local fruit and vegetables. Now that you have been touched by the natural beauty of the south west and the wines it has to offer, you will count the days until you can return.

Australia 4 Wheel Drive RentalsWhy Travel Around Australia
Our senses of sight and sound are flooded every day by film and TV. Though if you take a real holiday especially along the coast or the great Australian outback then your other senses of smell and touch will come alive as well. Let a Darwin sunset on Mindil Beach warm up your senses to smelling the pristine outback wilderness of the remote outback Kimberley. When you travel in Australia folks don't just gaze but look and you will see amazing Australian flora and fauna. If you're a family, couple or friends you will create memories most likely from the small things that you experience on the trip such as a butterfly sitting on your cup of tea whilst you're at a roadside stop on the Banks of the Ord River.
� We see and hear every day travel is a experience actually it's an achievement - like to catch sunset at very minute the sun touch the oceans horizon from the viewing points along the Great Ocean Road.
� Plan your holiday so you travel like never before and interact with fellow like minded adventure travellers, the locals and their cultures.
� Catch a fish then both of you take a selfie and give your finned friend a new lease on life and throw it back.
� Taste real fusion Aussie/Asian cuisine or just great fish and chips the Aussie way.
� If Marg and Rob have to have a motto then it would be 'plan well, travel at your own leisure and enjoy the little things Australia has to offer you'.
