Anyone who visits Western Australia's Margaret River region can't stop talking about the place afterwards. This drive takes you straight through it.

The drive starts at Busselton, an aquatic playground that is widely admired as one of the state's most beautiful seaside spots. It then continues to the sandy retreat Dunsborough, nestled on a quiet cove near the impressive Cape Naturaliste.

Naturaliste is the perfect vantage point for watching whales swim past as they migrate around the coast line of Australia.

Only a short drive away, the town of Yallingup is a popular holiday destination in the heart of the stunning Margaret River wine country. This area is home to wineries, breweries, restaurants, galleries, and arts and crafts shops.

As you drive through the Margaret River area, be sure to stop at the area's famous wineries and sample some of the local produce. (Remember to sample responsibly if you're the designated driver.)

And while you're in the area, take the opportunity to experience a little adventure. You can go rock climbing and abseiling, caving, snorkelling, and wind surfing - and that's just a few of the activities on offer.

Then, why not finish your drive at the place where the Indian and Southern oceans meet? Visit the picturesque town of Augusta, set on the magnificent Cape Leeuwin.
