The Great Southern Region of Western Australia is a picturesque and diverse area known for its rich agricultural landscapes, rugged coastlines, and historical significance. Stretching from the Wheatbelt in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, the region includes major towns such as Mount Barker, Frankland River, Denmark, and Albany which is the oldest European settlement in Western Australia. The region’s fertile soils support a thriving and rich agricultural industry, particularly grain farming, sheep grazing, and viticulture, with award-winning wineries throughout the Great Southern region.

Tourism is a major drawcard, with visitors attracted to stunning natural landmarks such as the Stirling Range and Porongurup National Parks, which offer hiking, wildlife spotting, and breathtaking views. Coastal attractions like Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, and The Gap in Torndirrup National Park highlight the region’s dramatic coastline

With a mix of history, nature, and industry, the region is a unique and definitely a great place to visit.
