🇦🇺 Perth, we’re back!
The last time we visited Perth was 7 years ago, and we left with so many fond memories that we knew we wanted to return one day. This year, we finally did — but with a different focus. Instead of rushing around, we spent most of our time exploring the Margaret River region, visiting as many breweries and wineries as we could, enjoying long lunches, good coffee, and beautiful scenery. 🍷🍺☕️
What made this trip even more special was that we travelled with another family. The kids had the best time playing together while the adults got to wine and dine — honestly the best of both worlds. 👧🏻👦🏻🍇
Our route took us from Fremantle to Mandurah, then down through Busselton and Margaret River, with plenty of brewery stops, winery visits, farmers markets, caves, beaches, and Airbnb dinners along the way. It was slow, easy, family-friendly, and exactly the kind of holiday we needed.
If you’re planning a Western Australia road trip and love good food, wine, breweries, and a relaxed pace, save this itinerary and give it a try! ✨
