Leeuwin Coast, Western Australia
The area between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin, in the southwest corner of WA, is the most popular getaway region for Perth people. It encompasses the Margaret River wine region and surfing areas, beautiful unspoiled coastline, forests, caves, great local foods ... and more touristy art & craft shops than you could poke a carved jarrah walking stick at. These are a few of my holiday snaps.
