Welcome to the South West Corner...

Few places in Australia can boast such a diversity of intriguing attractions and wondrous wilderness like Western Australia's South West Corner. The spectacular coastline is frequented not only by national parks, dolphins and whales, but pretty seaside resort towns lying on striking bays and world famous surfing beaches. The surf mecca of Margaret River is home to many of the exciting breaks, as well as a renowned wine region which has been tantalising vino lovers for decades.

Inland, the coastal plains give way to the rolling green hills of the hinterland, a picturesque area containing the state's most fertile and productive agricultural region. The thriving rural villages supporting the extensive farmlands have gone craft crazy, and make the ideal country getaway. Travelling south-east, the undulating pastoral lands become the extensive eucalypt tracts of the grand Southern Forrests. Magnificent towering karri, jarrah, and marri trees (up to 90 metres high and 7 metres wide) dominate the landscape, treating visitors to some of the greatest forest drives and bush walks anywhere on Earth.

If you can swing it, Springtime is great time to visit as much of the South East Corner becomes bathed in colour. Over 7000 species of wildflowers and orchids are known to the district, and many of them are found nowhere else. Exotic blooms like the kangaroo paw, potato orchid, royal hakea, and the Quaalup bell are just a few of the many floral delights.
