Leg 1 - Perth to BunburyYour South West Edge adventure begins in Perth / Boorloo, heading south through the coastal plains towards the bustling port town of Bunbury / Goomburrup. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and vibrant street art scene, Bunbury is also home to the renowned Dolphin Discovery Centre, where visitors can swim with wild dolphins or watch them play close to shore. Stroll along the scenic Koombana Bay foreshore, enjoy local cafes, and soak up the coastal charm that makes Bunbury a favourite first stop on the journey.

Leg 2 - Bunbury to Margaret River RegionLeaving Bunbury behind, travel through farmland and coastal towns before arriving in the world-renowned Margaret River Region. This area is celebrated for its surfing beaches like Surfers Point and its premium wineries, which produce some of Australia’s finest cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. The drive also takes you through the Boranup Forest, where towering karri trees create a magical canopy above winding roads. Beneath the forest, a network of ancient limestone caves — including Mammoth and Lake Caves — offer a glimpse into the region’s geological history.

Leg 5 - Albany to Stirling RangesA weekend visit to Albany / Kinjarling gives you the option of breakfasting at the iconic Farmers' Markets for a taste of the region’s fresh local flavours.

Take the two-hour return walk to Castle Rock and Granite Skywalk to take in the rich birdlife, wildflowers (August to December) and panoramic views. Continue your journey along Chester Pass Road to Stirling Range National Park and walk the Bluff Knoll / Bular Mial trail ascending Western Australia’s second highest peak.
