South West Western Australia on a budget
One of the worries about taking a holiday of a lifetime is that it is going to cost you the earth, but in south west Western Australia that needn't be the case.
This video gives some ideas to those who need to watch their wallets, for example:
Climb the Gloucester Tree
The Gloucester Tree is in the Gloucester National Park, a short drive from Pemberton which is three hours south of Perth.
It offers sensational views over the tall timber forests around Pemberton.
Once used as a fire lookout, today the 61 metre high Gloucester Tree is one of Pemberton's best loved tourism attractions -- and if you make it to the tree's lofty crown you're rewarded with a certificate to commemorate your feat, available from the Visitor Centre.
The karri is the tallest tree species in Western Australia and the third tallest in the world. It can grow up to 90 metres in height over a period of about 100 years.
The Gloucester Tree is part of a trilogy of Karri tree towers which are open to the public. The others include the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree.
The Gloucester Tree was named after the Duke of Gloucester who visited in 1946.
Bibbulmun Track
The award-winning Bibbulmun Track is Western Australia's long-distance walk trail.
The world-class, 965 kilometre track stretches from Kalamunda to Albany, passing through the rustic townships of Dwellingup, Collie, Balingup, Pemberton, Northcliffe, Walpole and Denmark.
You can join - and depart - the track at any of these towns, and many other scenic spots such as Mundaring Weir, Beedelup Falls and the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, meaning you can tackle the trail for however long you please.
Take a short day stroll, or rest or replenish overnight in a luxury hotel or bed and breakfast along the way.
But to really put your tootsies to the test - and for a true wilderness adventure - hike the entire track and join the elite group of 'end-to-enders'.
It will take you around six to eight weeks and there are 48 natural timber and iron shelters to camp at along the way.
All ages are welcome, meaning the Bibbulmun Track is ideal for family adventure holidays.
The track takes in some of the most spectacular and untamed scenery in Western Australia, coiling through enchanting natural forests of Jarrah, Marri, Karri, Wandoo and Tingle.
The best time to walk the Bibbulmun Track is Autumn or Spring. If you pack a parka, you can also trek in winter, but avoid Summer - heat and bushfires can be hazardous.
Land based Whale Watching
Prepare to be mesmerized by these gentle giants as they make their way along the coast during migration.
In late April, they travel from the food-rich southern ocean to breeding grounds in the warm northern waters.
Then, in August, they return south to the cold seas to grow and mature.
There are many whale-watching cruises available as well as plenty of land-based lookouts.
In Western Australia you're most likely to spot a humpback, southern right or blue whale. The best time to observe these serene mammals is at midday, when the sun is directly overhead.
Albany is a haven for humpback and southern right whales, which mate and calve off the south coast.
From July to October whales can be spotted frolicking and playing in King George Sound, Albany.
This area is famous for its whaling heritage and is not uncommon to see whales playing only a few hundred metres from the station where they once were processed in vast numbers.
The old whaling station has now been transformed into a fascinating interactive whale museum.

MUKINBUDIN, Western Australia
Updated
Welcome to Nannup
This video takes you on a little tour of and around Nannup. Located in the heart of the South West of Western Australia.
Pingelly - Western Australia (Updated)
Pingelly is a very attractive country town with a few interesting places to visit within 30 kilometres that are very worth while exploring. Situated 50 kilometres north of the large regional centre of Narrogin, Pingelly makes a good base for anyone interested in exploring the wheat belt.
Apologies for the hiccup on the vocal track. The correct place names that don't come out correctly are, Boyagin Rock, Mouambine and the Tutanning Reserve.
The caravan facility in town is quite small with only 8 powered sites. Some of these can be taken up with long term residents so usually only 4-5 are available. The amenities block is modern and clean which is more than can be said for some others north of here.
If there is something you don't like on our video please take the time to let us know how to make it better. Just clicking the 'dislike' button doesn't tell us why and we can't get better if you don't let us know.

Western Australia can lay claim to having some of the most unique natural formations in Australia.
Their brilliant colours create a dramatic backdrop for the undiscovered outback of the western state, from the breathtaking unique formations seen throughout the Kimberley in the north to the jagged sharp edged natural limestone formations of the pinnacles in the south
Western Australia has much to offer
A Trip to Albany, Perth
25th to 27th April 2015
Two weekends ago, in conjunction with the Anzac weekend, Kim, Chris, Millie, Natalie and I took a trip up to Albany. A painful 4 hours 15 minutes car ride but a trip worth the pain.
Checked into an amazing accommodation, checked out the great city of Albany, conquered Mount Bluff Knoll, looked out at Mount Adelaide, tried to keep our feet on the ground at Windmill Farm, and the final trip back to Perth.
3 days of fun, 2 nights of coldness and 1 amazing trip. Couldn't have asked for more.
Apologies for the shakiness of the video. It was recorded via my iPhone 4s.
