The south west corner of Australia is the stuff of road trip dreams. A vast land of turquoise ocean, jaw dropping beaches and ancient forests, wander among towering stands of karri trees; chase breaks that surfers cross the globe for; set off on world-class walks, and chill out on postcard-worthy beaches where dolphins jump between the waves. Catch the annual profusion of wildflowers in September and October, or watch migrating whales cruise past from June to December.
