The Margaret River Region

The Margaret River Region The Margaret River Region on Wadandi Boodja is located 3 hours south of Perth, Western Australia.
(616)

The Margaret River Region is an enticing mosaic of pristine natural wonders, premium wineries, relaxed microbreweries, world-class restaurants, spectacular beaches, towering forests, inspirational artisans, warm and friendly locals, and a laid-back persona all of its own. From the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay in the north, down the ancient cave-carved Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, through picturesque vineyards and karri forest of the heartland, to the desolate beauty of Cape Leeuwin in the south, this is a place of astounding natural contrasts. You’ll need at least a few days to explore the region; follow our page to understand why! The Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association honours the traditional owners of this land, the Wadandi (Saltwater) people, and their elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the Wadandi people’s 60,000-year custodianship of this special place, and we thank them for generously sharing with us their immensely deep cultural knowledge and connection to the land.

Welcome to wildflower season 🌸🌼

The Margaret River Region sits within Australia’s South West biodiversity hotspot, one of just 36 in the world, and is home to an incredible diversity of plant species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth.

And these are just a few of the spectacular wildflowers and beautiful blooms you might spot while exploring the region this season.

Visiting Margaret River or Busselton? Pop into one of our visitor centres and pick up a wildflower guide by local conservationist and author Jane Scott to help you identify what you find.

Then head out and explore! Just remember to stick to dedicated paths and trails to avoid trampling these delicate and rare blooms, and leave the flowers untouched where you find them. 💚

Over four days, riders tackle around 200km of flowing singletrack, farm tracks, downhill trails and fire trails.

Not racing? You can still catch the action at key spectator spots around the course, with the race finishing at Cape Naturaliste on Sunday 18 October. Expect plenty of food, drinks and music to keep the energy high!

There’s a lot to take in when you’re wandering through Boranup Forest. 🌳🪶

One of the many reasons we love the forest is the sounds. Go for a wander, then stop and close your eyes for a moment - soak in all kinds of bird calls (cockatoos in this case), the wind moving through the trees, and sometimes even the distant rumble from the nearby ocean.

Not sure where to go? Start here 👇

👉 Travelling south from Margaret River, when you come around the bend on Caves Road, you’ll see the forest opening up - trust us, you’ll know when. 😍 Take it slow through this stretch: the car park is on your left, and the walking trail is across the road on the right, so keep an eye out for fellow adventurers crossing. The trail stretches a few hundred metres into the forest and is a great little preview of what lies beyond.

👉 If you’re up for more, continue down Caves Road and turn right onto Boranup Drive. This 2WD gravel track takes you on a beautiful scenic loop through the forest. Eventually bringing you to Boranup Forest Lookout, this is a perfect picnic spot where you can soak in sweeping views over the treetops and the Indian Ocean in the distance. ☕

Please note: Boranup Drive is shared with hikers, mountain bikers and wildlife, so take it slow here.
