Margaret River Region - Western
Australia The Margaret River region is three and a half hours' drive south of Perth (274km), it is responsible for producing less than one percent of Australia's wine, but over 15 percent of Australia's premium wine. Boutique beer breweries, cheese products, jam and condiment producers, a marron (freshwater crayfish) farm, olive groves and even chocolate and fudge factories enhance the gourmet experiences. Couple this with an immense array of art and craft galleries, and the area offers visitors a fabulous opportunity to experience the work of local producers and artists. The area is blessed with an abundance of natural attractions, including a myriad of underground caves (open for public tours), pristine white beaches, pockets of beautiful forest and a multitude of bush and coastal walk trails. Massive surf has long been a major draw for the area and watching the local surfers take on the ocean is a spectacular sight. Every year the world class surfing competition, the Salomon Masters Margaret River Classic, gets the town buzzing with excitement.
