Margaret River Transportation

Margaret River is located a couple hours south of Perth on the coast of Western Australia.

Perth, Western Australia is unique for many different reasons, but in particular, this city's airport is truly the most isolated international city on Earth. It is very difficult to reach Perth by Air, although it is constantly being made easier through multiple international carriers creating flights here.

Western Australia's airports are actually equal flying time to Singapore as Sydney. Each being a 5 hour flight from this isolated city!

Perth however is a major launching pad for alot of Southern Hemisphere Australian travel, housing the international legs of Air New Zealand, Air Mauritius and South African Airways. Perth also serves Asia with Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Royal Brunei, Garuda, Singapore, Thai, Tiger Airways and of course Qantas.

Driving to Margaret River is dead easy. Basically from wherever you are staying in Perth, get onto Freeway South and follow it right to the end where it becomes Safety Bay Road. Turn off Safety Bay Road into Ennis Avenue and keep following this (even through all its name changes) until you get to Bunbury. From here the road is pretty well signposted to Busselton. However when you near Busselton there is a big roundabout that leads to the Busselton Bypass. Take that route and keep going until you get to the end, turn left at the Bussell Highway and keep going till you hit town.

So really you just keep driving straight ahead until you are forced to make a choice and then always turn towards Busselton! Easy.

TransWA can get you to Margaret River. If this is your only mode of transport then it's a great facility, however the trip will take 5 hours, and you can drive yourself there in 3 hours. So it depends on how long you are going for as to whether you want to spend that amount of timie on a bus. An onscreen video is screened and there is a pit stop along the way.

The website is handy. You can find out all sorts of information about the trip and book your tickets online. And the trip only costs about $33 each way.
