Hmmm frementle for the seafood and fish n chips.
Rottnest island, Wolfe Creek Crater, grapes farm enjoy nature and red wine etc.
Can go to bunbury or is it albany to see dolpins and whales i think. But the boat ride is expensive not sure. ONly hear housemates mention abt it i didn't go.

There's alot of nature reserves to go to.

Oh and king albert park.

Can go brighton beach if topless suntan is your thing.

The sign board is very informative and you can always drop by the tourist information center where you can get a map and drive around Australia. This is my experience when i visited melbourne last time.

Margaret River is a few hours drive away, best plan to stay overnight if you want to go there.

I drove there once, road is very rough and you can feel your steering wheel vibrates a lot... end of the trip my both hands are very numb! :-)

If you just have a few days in Perth, just concentrate in Perth and nearer surrounding. There's a national Park just north of Perth about 50-60km away. Same direction as Pinancles. Swan Valley also worth to visit, plenty of wineries and a couple of breweries.

Is it unsafe to drive at night from perth airport to margaret river? since u mentioned rough ride, i'll assume it's quite dangerous?

Suggest you skip Margaret River if you only have 5 days there.

Want to visit wineries? just go to Swan Valley, it's about 20+km away.
