Here is the South West region

Serving up a coastal culinary adventure, the world-class Margaret River Region is an unparalleled destination for gourmet experiences and unforgettable outdoor adventures.

Amid its sprawling vineyards, you’ll find welcoming cellar doors, award-winning restaurants, local providores and distilleries just waiting to be discovered. Beyond the delicious food and wine scene, the South West’s natural attractions invite adventurous travellers to explore.

Take to the ocean at the breathtaking surfing, swimming and snorkelling spots dotted along the coast, or spot humpback whales majestically making their way through the water on their annual migration.

On land, walk among the leafy giants of the area’s tall timber forests, connect with Aboriginal culture in Wadandi and Bibbulmun country, and experience barefoot luxury on a section of the iconic Cape to Cape Track.

Designed by C Y O'Connor and built in 1898, the Goods Shed has recently been restored by the Collie Heritage Group and is also used for markets on alternate Sunday mornings. The markets have a variety of stalls including fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, preserves, candles, soaps, books, jewellery, children’s toys, clothes and lots, lots more. The Coach Café, a restored dining carriage, will be serving Devonshire teas, espresso coffee, toasties and a selection of cakes. The Bill Weir Rolling Stock Shed, located next to the Goods Shed, houses many wagons that are being restored by some very enthusiastic volunteers from the Collie Heritage Group.

Women of the Southwest will showcase a powerful collection of Dionne Doig's images demonstrating the depth, resilience, and beauty of feminine identity through a unique lens. On display in the Bond Store Gallery at the Old Courthouse Complex, this evocative photography exhibition represents the raw, untamed beauty of women interwoven with landscapes, textures, and symbolic elements reflecting personal narratives. Doig's artistic journey began as a birth doula, where she developed a profound sensitivity to the unspoken language of the body - expressions of surrender, resistance, and transformation. This awareness now informs her work, which transcends traditional portraiture to reveal reclamation, embodiment, and self-expression. Her work invites viewers on an exploration of identity, sensuality, and sovereignty - where each image becomes a mirror of embodied truth. This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to behold the power of contemporary photographic storytelling while celebrating the strength and presence of women in the Southwest.
