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.

Pemberton - Western Australia
Deep in the heart of karri country, Pemberton is one of the coldest towns in the state. The surrounding forest is breath taking. An under storey of ferns and bracken is usually damp and earthy smelling. Smaller trees and bushes clump together beneath majestic karri trees making the forest almost impenetrable.
The town's most popular tourist attraction is the huge Gloucester Tree with its fire lookout teetering 64 m above the ground and its hair-raising 153 rung ladder to the top. It is claimed that the view from the top is magnificent but, if there is a wind blowing, the experience of swaying from side to side is apparently less than comforting.
