Every year, millions and millions of travellers are drawn across the world to Australia, exploring immensely popular sites from the Great Barrier Reef and Gold Coast to bustling Sydney and Melbourne— but a small fraction of these visitors ever make it over to Western Australia and its capital Perth, a 41-hour drive from Sydney and a 4-6hr flight from most East Coast cities. Speak to anyone who's visited WA, t[...]
As one of Australia's most prolific wine regions, Margaret River has long since drawn wine snobs and wannabe viticulturists to its sunny vineyards in the country's South West. What many travellers (and locals) may not realise is that this area is so much more than just a destination for wine lovers— among several hundred award-winning wine estates, Margaret River is also home to some of Australia's most spect[...]
