The story of this place
The Margaret River region stretches along 100 kilometres of south-west Western Australian coastline, where dramatic limestone cliffs meet the Indian Ocean. The coastline offers extraordinary seascape photography: Boranup Forest's towering karri trees grow right to the cliff edges, providing forest-meets-ocean compositions found nowhere else in Australia. Surfers Point at Prevelly provides the most iconic surf photography location in WA, with waves peeling beneath red limestone headlands. Canal Rocks offers a natural bridge formation with water surging through narrow channels. The region also produces world-class wines, and vineyard landscapes with ocean backdrops provide additional photographic diversity. Hamelin Bay is known for friendly stingrays that approach waders in the shallows.
