South West, Western Australia
Perth to Esperance — The Turquoise Trail
Margaret River wine, granite headlands and the whitest sand in Australia.
The journey
10 days of proper adventure
A cinematic road trip through Western Australia's South West — towering karri forests, Margaret River wine tasting, and the string of turquoise bays between Albany and Esperance that sparkle like nowhere else on earth.
Meet kangaroos on the beach at Lucky Bay, walk among giants in the Valley of the Ancients, and eat very, very well along the way.
