The southwestern reaches of Western Australia are a playground of dreamy beaches,
ancient forests, rugged peaks, and windswept coastlines. On this six-day swag camping
adventure from Perth, experience some of the South West Edge’s most spectacular natural
wonders from the otherworldly Wave Rock to the squeaky-white sands of Lucky Bay.
Hike remote ridgelines, swim in turquoise bays, explore national parks, and connect with
culture with Traditional Owners. Wander the coastal beauty of Bremer Bay, climb into the
canopy of towering karri trees, and sample world-class wine and local produce in Margaret
River.
You’ll travel with a small group, led by a passionate local guide, and sleep under star-filled
skies in nature-based camps and bush hideaways. This is raw, real WA, a journey of wild
places, open roads, and one you’ll talk about long after the dust settles.
Itinerary highlights
Day 1: Perth to Fitzgerald River National Park
Your untamed adventure kicks off bright and early as we hit the road out of Perth at 5:30 am.
Our first stop is York, the oldest inland town in Western Australia. Surrounded by rolling
farmland and historic charm, it’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs and get your caffeine
fix.
Next up is one of WA’s most iconic geological wonders, Wave Rock. This 15-metre-high
granite formation looks just like a breaking ocean wave, frozen in time for over 2.7 billion
years. It’s a must-snap photo op.
From here, we continue southeast through the wheatbelt, bound for the remote and
biodiverse landscapes of Fitzgerald River National Park. Known for its dramatic coastal
cliffs, colourful wildflowers, and over 200 plant species found nowhere else on Earth, this
UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve is a dream for nature lovers.
We set up camp at Four Mile Campground, where the wilderness rolls all the way to the
sea. After a yummy camp dinner, settle in under the stars and breathe in the wild beauty of
WA’s southern coast.

Day 2 : Fitzgerald River to Cape Le Grand National Park
Begin the day with a hike up East Mount Barren, a short yet challenging 3 km return trail that climbs rugged quartzite slopes with a touch of scrambling near the summit. The reward is sweeping views over Culham and Hamersley Inlets, the jagged Eyre Range, and distant peaks.
After the climb, journey into Esperance, a small town with world-class scenery—stunning beaches and nine national parks close at hand. Enjoy free time for lunch before joining a 90-minute Dabungool Cultural Experience. Guided by Wudjari Nyungar women, this coastal walk shares ancient knowledge of the six seasons, bush foods, and medicinal plants that have sustained their people for millennia.
In the afternoon, arrive at Cape Le Grand National Park, where rugged coastline meets turquoise waters. Camp at Lucky Bay, famed for its squeaky white sand and friendly kangaroos. As the sun sets, share dinner by the ocean and watch the sky ignite with colour.

Day 3: Exploring Cape Le Grand National Park
Start your day with sunrise on the sand at Lucky Bay, where the western grey kangaroos are
often spotted bouncing along the beach in the early light, one of those only-in-Australia
moments.
Those feeling adventurous can tackle the Frenchman Peak hike, a short but challenging
Grade 5 climb. This 3 km return trail is steep, rocky, and best suited for experienced hikers
who are comfortable scrambling across granite slabs and navigating uneven surfaces. If the
weather’s dry and the skies are clear, the payoff is massive: 360° views of aquamarine bays,
bright white beaches, and the islands of the Recherche Archipelago stretched out below.
The rest of the day is yours to explore Cape Le Grand National Park, one of Australia’s
most biodiverse and breathtaking coastal regions. Hike bushland trails, swim in turquoise
bays, relax on the sand, or take it slow and soak up the serenity.
We stay another night at Lucky Bay, where another beautiful sunset and a camp-cooked
dinner await.

Day 4: Cape Le Grand to Bremer Bay
After breakfast, we farewell Cape Le Grand and begin our journey west. The first stop is
Esperance for a coffee break, while your guide stocks up on supplies. Then, on through
Ravensthorpe, a great spot for lunch and a quick look at the town’s colourful silo art.
By afternoon, we roll into Bremer Bay, a peaceful coastal town known for its turquoise
waters and wild beaches. Choose to stretch your legs on two scenic short walks. A gentle
estuary trail with crystal-clear waters where the estuary meets sea, and a quick climb to a
coastal lookout with sweeping views over the ocean. Keep an eye out for seabirds and, if
you’re lucky, migrating whales.
Tonight’s base is Tozer’s Bush Camp, a rustic hideaway tucked into native bushland just
outside town. With basic facilities, bush trails, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect
spot to unwind and soak up the serenity. If you’re up for it, there’s a 4.7 km loop walk from
camp for an extra dose of nature before dinner.

Day 5: Bremer Bay to Hamelin Bay
We hit the road early and head west, stopping for coffee in Albany before continuing on to
William Bay National Park. Home to two of WA’s most iconic swim spots: Greens Pool
and Elephant Rocks. With turquoise water, soft white sand, and dramatic granite boulders,
this is the kind of place that makes you want to dive right in.
From here, we leave the coast behind and head into the towering karri forests of the
southwest to visit the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree. Once used as a fire lookout, you can
still climb partway up this 75 m giant using a spiral of metal spikes embedded in the trunk.
It’s not for the faint-hearted, but even reaching the lower platform gives you a taste of the
canopy views and adrenaline rush.
Tonight, we roll into Hamelin Bay Holiday Park, right on the beach. Kick back, enjoy dinner
by the sea, and listen to the waves roll in.

Day 6: Hamelin Bay to Perth via Margaret River
Start your day with a peaceful walk along the iconic Cape to Cape Track, where on the
beach, you might be lucky enough to spot Hamelin Bay’s famous stingrays gliding right up
to the shoreline.
Next, we journey into the heart of the Margaret River region, stopping at Surfers Point,
home of the world-famous Margaret River Pro surf comp. After soaking up the coastal
views, enjoy free time in the Margaret River township to explore and grab lunch.
In the afternoon, it’s time to taste what this region is best known for, wine, produce and
local flavours. We’ll visit two tasting venues, including one celebrated cellar door, to
sample the region’s finest.
Our final stop is in Busselton, where you can stretch your legs with a walk along the historic
1.8 km jetty, and explore the vibrant Origins Market, a local hub filled with artisan goods,
fresh produce, crafts and gourmet treats.
We return to Perth around 7:00 pm, wrapping up six days of wild coastlines, natural
wonders, and memorable moments.
