The Margaret River region is a very special place and world known for the amazing coastline but even better known for the wine that is produced in this fantastic climate. Although Margaret River only produces 3% of the wine in Australia it represents over 20% of the premier wine served in Australia.
In 1967 the first major planting was undertaken in the region and since then has grown to approximately 215 wine producing vineyards across 5000 hectares of grapes.
Margaret River wine tours allow you to visit a range of wineries and taste the best that each has to offer without the hassles of maps and determining who will be the designated driver. Tours will generally pickup in Margaret River, Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup and Augusta. Wine tours in the Margaret River region include a combination of: wine tastings at various wineries, brewery visit and tasting, lunch as well as cheese and chocolate tastings.
Margaret River Wine tours are also available that depart from Perth.
All tours at guaranteed lowest prices. Wine tours Perth to the Swan Valley also available.

Every so often I drop into to Byron Bay for a couple of days. Whilst I tinker about and checkout the latest shops, cafes and bars, I generally decide on my itinerary depending on recommendations made by fellow travellers at the backpackers hostel that I am staying.
I was recently told that "everyone who visits the area must skydive Byron Bay." The Byron Bay skydiving jump zone is just north of the township at Tyagarah Airstrip but I was offered a free transfer from my hostel when booking. I was picked up in the morning with a group of German backpackers who had also been skydiving in Cairns and Sydney, and I think intended to skydive Melbourne also before they headed home. One of them told me that they had decided it was the best way to see the local landscape and all that it has to offer, I was soon to find out!
After the greatest adrenalin rush of my life, I found myself drinking a cold beer at the Beaches Hotel along the front esplanade to celebrate my survival with my newly made friends.
On the second day I was recommended the "Lighthouse and hinterland day trip" which visited the Cape Byron Lighthouse and headland. I could tell this day was going to be a little easier on my senses but I was pleasantly surprised at the days adventure and especially to see wild goats balancing dangerously on the cliffs feeding and around 40 dolphins swimming below. We also visited the local town of Bangalow and I had a chance to pickup some great food and a couple of unusual souvenirs.
Finally, after a rest day I booked in for Byron Bay surfing lessons. Again I was picked up from my hostel and taken to nearby Lennox Heads beach where the conditions were perfect for beginners. There were 3 other people in my group and it was an enjoyable couple of hours. I have booked in for another session tomorrow and will stay another night (obviously I am a little competitive and just want to be able to stand up properly).
