The Great Southern

In the Great Southern region of Australia's south west, dramatic forested cliffs are pounded by the wild Southern Ocean, providing shelter for cosy coves and calm bays. Coastal and country towns are steeped in the rich history of early European settlement. Rolling pastoral landscapes and majestic mountain ranges are home to a rich variety of flora and fauna and fine wines are carefully crafted in the region’s vineyards.  Whale watching, marine life, wine tasting, beautiful beaches, farmland and tasty home-grown produce are amongst the delights you will discover when you visit the Great Southern. Framed by the rugged Porongurup and Stirling Range National Parks, the Great Southern is also home to the port city of Albany - Western Australia's first European settlement.
