31 Stunning Photos of the Margaret River Region

Described by some as one of Australia’s best kept secrets, it seems word is getting out about our beautiful corner of the country.

Whichever season you visit in, you can bank on breathtaking scenery, world class food and wine and a host of exciting local events. You may choose summer, when you’ll be able to relax on our pristine beaches and cool off in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. In autumn you will see the vineyards become a hive of activity during harvest, and in winter you’ll witness the start of the 6 month whale watching season, when 35,000 whales migrate past our coastline. In spring, you will see the Leeuwin Naturaliste national park decorated with over 2,500 species of wildflowers.

Get a glimpse of the Margaret River Region throughout the seasons below, with these photos we’ve gathered over the past year.
