Exploring Western Australia
For years, many Australian’s living in Eastern Australia have overlooked a trip to Western Australia to head overseas instead. With international travel restricted, why not book your Western Australia bike tour in the South West corner, visiting the amazing Margaret River region.
With rolling vineyards set against a backdrop of breathtaking coastal and forest scenery, our cycling experience will start off in the Bunbury region with 4 nights at the Ferguson Farmstay in spacious chalet accommodation. Located in the Darling Ranges we will have easy access to amazing riding, wineries, microbreweries and art galleries
It would not be a trip to Western Australia without visiting Margaret River. Our final 3 nights will be spent in Margaret River itself where we will spend the mornings riding and the afternoon exploring wineries and the local attractions, and restaurants. It does not get any better.

Welcome to Perth
Our trip starts with staff meeting you at Perth Airport at 11.00am. There will be someone to meet you at the Airport and assist you to our vehicle. After we collect everyone we will be on our way to our accommodation, the Ferguson Farmstay just outside of beautiful Bunbury.
Our staff will be on hand to help you assemble your bike before we head out for a shakedown ride to ensure your bike is working 100% correctly.
Tonight a welcome dinner for you to meet your fellow riders and probably share a glass of WA wine!

Ferguson Falls Winery
After a good breakfast, we will head out for our ride for the day. Our ride is prominently flat with the challenge to negotiate a few climbs in between. We will make our way down to Donnybrook, the apple capital of the west for a coffee. On our way back to home we will make a stop at a somewhat “unusual” local attraction, Gnomesville, home to an estimated 10,000 garden Gnomes.
After our ride, we will have time to freshen up before enjoying a relaxing lunch at Ferguson Falls Winery. For those who still have the energy after lunch, we will make a trip to the Bunbury Farmers Market where you can grab some local produce for dinner.

Collie River Valley National Park
After a solid day yesterday, we will have a little easier ride today on the quietest of roads in and around the Collie River Valley National Park. The ride will feature two solid climbs though we will stop for a coffee at the Wellington Reservoir Dam kiosk to freshen the legs before heading back to the farmstay.
For lunch, we will visit another local winery, Hackersley Estate. After lunch, you will be free to enjoy some of the many activities at the farmstay (fishing, tennis or just relax).

Bunbury
After a few days exploring the WA countryside and wineries our ride today will head towards the coast and visit Bunbury. Bunbury is renowned for its wild but friendly bottlenose dolphins which can be seen on the shores of Koombana Bay.

Tonight we will enjoy dinner together for our last night at the Ferguson Farmstay.

Tonight you are free to explore one of the many restaurants in town.

Our shorter ride today will take a direct route to Augusta with the longer option hugging the coastline travelling right to the tip of Cape Leeuwin before finishing in Augusta.
