Day
1 We begin with a drive South
through historic Mandurah (one of the
fasted growing towns in Australia) and
Bunbury (second largest town in WA)
en route to Donnybrook (the fruit capital
of the southwest) to purchase fruit
and vegetables. Next stop Manjimup (gateway
to the Karri forest) - test your nerve,
climb Diamond tree Fire lookout, the
tallest wooden lookout in the world.
We'll then have a picnic lunch surrounded
by the scents and sounds of the Karri
forest. While your heart steadies from
pounding, we drive through Virgin Karri
Forest to the Tree Top Walk, a tour
of living natural beauty. Then we head
for our accommodation for the night.
We stop at a bottle shop for your convenience
before arriving at our Hostel. (L,D)
Day
2 Early to rise, we head
for the Augusta & Margaret River
region, where the Indian and Southern
Oceans meet. Next its the whale watching
tour! Humpback whales coming from the
feeding grounds of Antarctica migrate
to Flinders Bay in Augusta to find a
mate before their northward journey.
The 'Whale Watcher' - a brand new 50
seater catamaran run by Naturaliste
Charters, allows the viewing of these
awe-inspiring creatures of the deep
in absolute luxury. They are thorough
professionals, almost guaranteeing that
you will always see whales in season.
After your cameras have run out of film
and we've said goodbye to the whales,
we'll have lunch and get back our 'land
legs'. We will then check out the famous
Wine, Cheese & Chocolate of Margaret
River. Then we head back to Perth for
an approximate 7:30pm arrival. (B,L)
Attention:
Tour will alter slightly to take advantage
