Flanked by national parks including towering forests, pristine coastlines and rugged granite outcrops, the Margaret River region is the quintessential Western Australian holiday destination.
This is award-winning wine country with a thriving art scene, incredible hiking trails, and a distinctly circular food philosophy with a great respect for the land.
With sheltered bays to the north, vineyards and surf coast along its length, and two oceans meeting at the southern tip, it’s time to rediscover the Margaret River region.

Hands up, who wants to be a dolphin when they grow up? Frolicking with friends in the surf and sunshine at Yallingup looks like SO much fun! 🐬💙🌈 📸 @southwestsaltwater
We can't give you flippers, but we can recommend summer surfing lessons and the exhilaration of catching your first wave. Surf the sand breaks with @yallingupsurfschool, @joshpalmateersurfschool or @margaretriversurfschool and you'll be happy as a dolphin in no time at all 👌💦

We wouldn't dare describe an artists work for him so from @stumcmillanart himself, we present ‘Transience’.
.
"This sculpture explores the seasonal shifts around the @howardparkwines Leston Vineyard. Created using vines, native branches, sticks and earth collected off the property, the circular weaving motion represents life cycles and patterns repeated in nature. Erupting from the ground ‘Transience’ reminds us that life is in a constant state of renewal and decay, where nothing is fixed, however it is important to remain connected to the earth.
Viewed from afar this artwork offers a different angle of perspective breaking the tree line, where interactions with the environment and architecture are vast. The view changes throughout the light and weather transitions of the day.
People are invited to cross the threshold of ‘Transience’ into potential new beginnings, offering a metaphor of hope and growth."

You may have heard whispers of 'secret spots' in the Margaret River region that only the locals are privy to.. Well this magical seaside pool that @helen_jannesonbense is about to dive in to is perhaps just one of those hidden gems. We'd love to share the location with you but there's just something about the thrill of the chase that makes discovering these natural wonders near @smiths_beach_resort all the more worthwhile. 😉

Nope, that's not some hidden cove on the Mediterranean coast, it's one of our favourite places to enjoy the beach in the Margaret River region, Hamelin Bay! The next time you find yourself strolling along the shoreline in this magical part of @australias_southwest be sure to check what's around the next corner because you might just find yourself in your own private paradise. 😍

Take a leaf out of @dylan.dehaas’ book and start your day right when you next visit the Busselton foreshore! Sunrise along this peaceful part of the coastline is an absolute must when you next visit the Margaret River region. Once you're done filling up your memory card with 'Gram worthy content you're literally spoilt for breakfast choices at places like @goosebeachbarkitchen and @equinoxbusselton. Once you've had your fill there's no need to take off however! From skate parks to one of the best playgrounds in the region and the southern hemisphere’s longest timber jetty you can spend an entire day here and still not do everything on offer. Oh and did we mention the hottest new brewery in the south west @shelterbrewingco is getting very close to opening its doors!? We're a bit excited about Busso. 😁
