TRAVEL WESTERN AUSTRALIA by FACTS4YOU.NET

When planning your holiday to Western Australia make sure you allow time for a driving tour to the gorgeous south west, & in particular ensure your southerly trip ends in Augusta. One of my favourite coastal holiday towns is Augusta, the southern most town situated on the south west coast of Western Australia. You cant drive any further south without ending up in the Great Southern Ocean!

Augusta is approx 380 k’s south west of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. The drive south to Augusta via Mandurah, Bunbury, Busselton & Margaret River is a very relaxed drive on excellent roads through a mixture of bushland, farming regions, tall timber country & vineyards. In fact, if you take a couple of leisurely days on the trip south, there is so much to see & enjoy along the way, you will need that extra time to drink in the scenery, plus maybe taste the excellent wine vintages at a few of the world famous Margaret River region wineries!

Once you reach Augusta you will find plenty to keep you occupied. Augusta is not a large town. Providing you make sure your visit does not coincide with school holiday seasons this gorgeous little coastal town is peaceful & friendly. If you have your own vehicle make sure you drive the short trip to view the spectacular coast south west of Augusta where you can tour the famous lighthouse looking over where the Indian & Great Southern Oceans meet!

The coast & the massive surf that crashes onto the spectacular rocky, craggy coastline is absolutely beautiful. If you are into photography make sure you take your gear on any drives as you will capture gorgeous landscape photos as well as plenty of wildlife!

Within the town site itself you will find several excellent & friendly cafes & coffee shops. The town boasts several caravan parks, & a few quality affordable motels. Make sure you prebook accommodation during the summer months. Augusta is very popular due to the Blackwood River that runs past the town & the excellent boating & fishing available.

Augusta is the place to enjoy a peaceful holiday away from the big busy towns along the way. If you travel down to Augusta via Margaret River make sure you do the return trip to Perth via the coast road as the scenery includes travel through devine Karri tall tree country. Enjoy!
