Cape to Cape and Margaret River

The Margaret River region sits in the far south-west of Western Australia, about 250 km from Perth, between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. The short drive links wineries, limestone caves, surf beaches and karri forest. It follows the same ridge as the 123 km Cape to Cape walking track and fits a long weekend.
