Day 5 At Sea
Day 6 Margaret River (tours from Busselton)
With its renowned underwater observatory and contemporary galleries, Busselton is a hotspot in Australia’s South West. Ride a steam train along the length of its impressive jetty or swim at one of many pristine sandy beaches. At over a mile in length, Busselton Jetty is the longest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere with an underwater observatory that’s one of only six in the world - a must-see attraction in the city. Be inspired by creative art in The Old Courthouse Complex, a restored courthouse with a fully preserved interior, or visit ArtGeo Gallery, a neo-classical pavilion in the city championing local artists.
Busselton is your gateway to the premium wine region of Margaret River and Ngilgi Cave, a geological wonder where centuries-old stalactites and stalagmites adorn every chamber. Saturated with the country’s finest vineyards, the Margaret River region is so verdantly green it glows. Over 200 wineries occupy the stunning landscape, collectively commanding almost a quarter of Australia’s premium wine market. Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park is another of Western Australia’s native treasures. Named after two lighthouses, its granite coastline stretches for 75 miles. Many of its caves are accessible and the Cape to Cape track offers a scenic walking route along the length of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge.
Day 7 Fremantle
You will disembark this morning.
They say you can’t please everyone, but Perth may prove to be the exception to that rule. The city’s urban sprawl is awash with fusion flavours, fashionable boutiques and innovative museums but Western Australia’s capital impresses in other ways too. Its Kings Park and Botanic Garden are one of the largest inner-city green spaces; eclipsing even New York’s Central Park. Outstanding beaches decorate Perth’s coastline, while verdant wineries surround its inland fringes. Throw in the world’s largest gold coin (one of Perth’s many novel claims to fame) and you begin to appreciate why the city is so many things to so many people.
Perth is famously isolated; a cosmopolitan drop in the ocean that is Australia’s outback. Along the banks of the Swan River you’ll find countless spots to sit and watch kayakers paddle by. The CBD (central business district) offers many interesting galleries and museums to explore while the Perth Mint, exploring Western Australia’s gold history, is in East Perth. If a day in the sun appeals, the city’s nearest beach (Cottesloe) is just a 15-minute drive. Alternatively, take a walk through Kings Park and Botanic Garden where you’ll enjoy far-reaching views in one of the world’s largest city parks.
Just a short ferry crossing from Perth brings you to Rottnest Island, a stunning nature reserve and conservation area for wildlife including Quokkas. The island is the ideal place to indulge in activities such as fishing, surfing and glass-bottom kayaking, while guided tours expand on Rottnest’s fascinating history. At just 25 minutes from Perth, Swan Valley is yet another popular excursion from the city. The valley is home to some of Western Australia’s oldest wineries and best restaurants. There are local artisan markets where you can pick up produce grown natively in the Valley, as well as crafts from resident artists and makers.
