And because of the reputation of our local vineyards right around the world, that consensus would be fair enough. But if you aren't a wine drinker and a burger at a beachside take-away or a frothy cappuccino at a village teahouse is moe your style, don't think there's nothing there for you. There are sights, history and culture to suit everyone. Nowhere else in West Australia are there so many moods and colours in the land. Rousing surf and calm beaches lie beside pristine sand and coastal bush.
Thick forest creates a tranquil haven down south.
The vineyards and farms roll over the hills and plains and spirit away some of the highest quality food production in Australia. And nestled in among them all is a very well appointed tourism and holiday industry, and every style of traveller is catered for. The South West is an playground for stressed Perth dwellers or sand baked northerners, with activities and things to see from the beaches to the lush farms inland. There's a guesthouse with a huge fluffy bed and roaring fireplace around every corner, a spa to look out over the trees from on every hill, and a quaint village packed with art and produce on every lazy back country dirt road.
