“Western Australia's Southwest offers the most dramatic coastal scenery you are likely to see. Both ferocious and beguiling, what awaits your discovery is a landscape of rolling hills and towering mountains bathed in wildflowers, giving way to a rugged, pristine coastline. Venturing into the heart of this region offers countless rewards so be sure to allow sufficient time for exploration.Visit the iconic Wave Rock, relax in picturesque Esperance and explore the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie.”

Day 1: Perth to Esperance

Heading east through the scenic Darling Ranges we stop to enjoy morning tea (own expense) at historic York, the first township founded in the Avon Valley. Enjoy the wonderfully preserved turn of the century Victorian buildings and gain an insight into grand old pioneer days. Continuing east, we pass through sweeping wheat belt plains and stop en route at the famous Dog Cemetery, a tribute to Australian working sheep dogs. Later we reach the small town of Hyden, home of Wave Rock. Head south through Ravensthorpe before driving east to our stop over for the next 2 nights in the beautiful port town of Esperance on the Bay of Isles.
