Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Margaret River
The town of Margaret River sits among tall forests in the far south-west corner of Western Australia, about three hours south of Perth, and it is the heart of one of Australia's best-known wine regions. Vines were planted here in the late 1960s, after scientists reckoned the climate resembled Bordeaux, and the cabernet sauvignons and chardonnays that followed made the place famous. Today around seven and a half thousand people live in town, and the main street has the relaxed feel of a place where winemakers, surfers and holidaymakers all mix.
