Tourism

The South West is the most visited region in Western Australia. It’s easy to see why.

It is a destination like no other, offering a kaleidoscope of high quality experiences that appeal to people from throughout the world.

A diversity of experiences can be enjoyed in a single day when in the dynamic South West. Explore breathtaking wilderness areas, discover iconic natural cave systems, sample locally-produced food and wine, and visit landmarks such as the Busselton Jetty and attractions like the Dolphin Discovery Centre. Or get active by mountainbike riding, surfing and canoeing.

Fresh new experiences are coming online, including the mega mural on Collie’s Wellington Dam. And the region hosts popular events that draw people from outside the region and state.
