Explore this great place by driving yourself. Car hire is available everywhere and it is very reasonable...approx. A$16 per day for a small to medium sedan. Public transport is convenient too but you'll need to check its schedule. Within Perth city there is free bus called C.A.T. Best time to visit is Spring (September to November) but be careful of high count of pollen during this time. You may catch hay fever. The start of Autumn (end March to April) is also wonderful time of the year.Travel to Albany (south of Perth) which is about 4 hours' drive. Albany has fabulous scenery. Go along Frenchman Bay Drive in Albany (coastal drive). Along the way you'll pass a number of towns, like Margaret River which is popular for its wineries. There are approximately about 49 wineries in Margaret River itself! Leeuwin Estate, Vasse Felix and Chateau Xanadu are my favourites. Each has its own cafe and restaurant which is really nice for a lazy afternoon.
Fishing is great here too! Estuary or deep-sea fishing is a popular past-time if you love fishing.Whenever I'm away travelling, I miss the various trendy cafes.
