Destination WA - Best Beach in Australia
After a four and a half hour journey to The Cocos Keeling Islands Chrissy discovers Australia’s best beach, Cossies, on Direction Island.
Why we LOVE South West Australia - Busselton & Margaret River Ep.72
We trekked down to Busselton and settled ourselves into a van park for 2 nights. Our good mates Blaine & Shenaid from Camper Australis had made some last minute plans to come join us for the weekend. We explored the surrounds, visited some breweries, checked out some markets and fished off the iconic Busselton jetty.
After visiting Dunsborough and the surrounds, we really loved the atmosphere here. This has been the first place on our trip, we have both said we could live here. Eagle bay and Garnet Rocks took our breath away and are up there with some of our favourite beaches! Amz couldn’t resisit not visiting Simmo’s ice-creamery. She was in heaven trying to choose a flavour from their 40+ flavour range.
We are starting to get a taste of this south west, and understanding why people rave about it. Its still early days, but so far we are loving our time down here and can’t wait to see more. Next stop Margaret River through to Pemberton and surrounds.
Margaret River & surrounds
After leaving Busselton, we headed south into the Margaret River region. Setting ourselves up at ‘The Olive Farm’, a low cost campsite. You need to be self contained and all sites are unpowered at $15 a night (for 2 people). We found this a great spot to base ourselves while exploring all the surrounds.
For our first day we headed to Gracetown for a swim. The local beach had a pontoon anchored out in the water, so swam out did some flips between our sun baking. Working up quite the appetite and thirst, that we stopped by at the Cheeky Monkey for lunch. We then had a leisurely stroll through the town of Cowaramup which is only a small town, but covered in dairy cow sculptures. Rusty was a little unsure as we walked by them.
Prevelly was a nice sleepy town. Kurt had a fish at the River mouth and from the rocks just south of Gnarabup beach. We had a coffee at the White Elephant Cafe, which overlooked Gnarabup beach and boat ramp. It was quite a busy little spot with plenty of people coming and going, and this was midweek. While in Prevelly we also found a cool little cave. A good old ‘Wikicamps’ special, told us where to park and where the track was to reach it.
On another day, we also visited Yallingup to see all the sights around the area. We checked out Rabbits beach, Torpedo rock, spotted dolphins at Smiths beach and walked a little bit of the cape to cape track. The Injidup Natural spa was definitely amazing to see. A natural spa from the waves of the ocean, crushing over rocks which trickle down like a waterfall, giving a natural spa feel. Be sure to visit on high tide so you can see the full ‘spa effect’. c
A total of nine nights we spent at the Olive Farm, as it was so nice and relaxing. Each site had be designed so that you wouldn’t directly see your neighbours. It had a beautiful walk down to the river, through the forest with signs identifying each tree species. Just down the road was the Colonial Brewing Company, which does $10 pizzas every Friday night. We can confirm both pizzas and beers were delicious.
Overall we ate well, saw the sights, got a real feel for the area and had a lovely time in Margaret River and surrounds.
Next stop Augusta!

Margaret river farmstay reivew - Should you go?
Full blog review:
When it comes to farmstay near Perth, many people’s top choice will be nearby Margaret River. There are beautiful caves, amazing hiking tracks, large scale winery and gorgeous beaches around the region… Who wouldn’t want to stay there? You can never finish exploring the region in just 1 day, that’s why most people opt for Margaret river farmstay to truly take into the beauty.
During my trip with my family, we stayed at BIG4 Taunton Farm Holiday Park for 2 nights. Situated 15km north of Margaret River, the farmstay acts as a central point to many attractions.
In my opinion, the farmstay is perfect for families with kids. There’s a kid’s playground and a giant bouncing pillow for children to play with. Of course, as an adult, I played as well as I’m still a kid at heart. ;P
The farmstay also organises animal feeding during the evening time. Make sure you get back early to have a real close interaction with the cuties.
Although situated in the wild, the simple cabins are very clean and well maintained. If you want to save money, make use of the fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own dinner! There’s a giant supermarket just 10 mins drive away.
If you are coming with your own caravan, the farmstay also has a lot of space for you to stop overnight. Common shower, toilet and laundry facilities are also available, making it perfect for camping!
In conclusion, BIG4 Taunton Farm Holiday Park provides a wonderful location to explore around the Margaret River region. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. If you are coming to the region, you should check it out.
Margaret River - Western Australia
Margaret River has evolved into the ultimate smorgasbord of fine wine, good food and spectacular scenery featuring world-class wineries, boutique breweries, and restaurants overlooking sweeping vineyards and surf breaks. No wonder it's rated by Lonely Planet as one of the top ten places on Earth.
