Stop 1 of 5 · Geographe Bay

Start where the jetty does.

Bunbury, Busselton, Vasse and Jindong: coffee roasters, handmade soap and skincare, hemp from the farm.

Stop 2 of 5 · The capes

Limestone, surf and small groves.

Dunsborough, Eagle Bay, Yallingup and Metricup: skincare made by hand, olive oil from Eagle Bay, chocolate.

Stop 3 of 5 · The river

The busiest stall on the road.

Cowaramup to Margaret River: bean-to-bar chocolate, nougat, tea, olive oil, soap and pantry shelves worth a detour.

Stop 4 of 5 · Where two oceans meet

The quiet end of the capes.

Witchcliffe, Karridale and Augusta. Nobody is listed here yet, so there is room on the map for the first maker.

Stop 5 of 5 · Karri country

Turn inland. The trees get taller.

Donnybrook, Nannup, Bridgetown, Manjimup and Pemberton: honey from Nannup, truffle salt and truffle oil from Manjimup and Pemberton.

Something to take home

What are you down here for?

Something warm after a dawn paddle.

Walking the track

Light enough to carry, good at the top.

Camping

For the esky and the camp stove.

Somewhere nice to stay

Bring the South West back to the room.

A rainy day

Kettle on, candle lit.
