Autumn is a special season in the South West.
- The calm warm days and evenings are perfect for picnics and alfresco dining.
- A more gentle sun provides ideal walking conditions – one of the best seasons to walk the spectacular Cape to Cape Walk Track or walk just short sections of it.
- Beaches are quiet, yet the water is at its warmest – idyllic beach and swimming conditions
- Whale watching begins at Augusta – catch a cruise from there and see them leaving on their long trip Northwards.
- Beach fishing for salmon – right at Smiths Beach.
- Loads of attractions for the kids during the May school holidays – visit Geographe Bay Visitor Centres at Busselton and Dunsborough or the Margaret River Visitor Centre for ideas.
