Take the Great South West Edge road trip and travel from Perth to Esperance by car in 11 days! Here are some of the things you can expect from these Insta-Worthy locations.

#1 Peace and Quiet Natural Spa

On Day One, hire your car in Perth and drive straight to Margaret River. Locals come to Indijup Natural Spa for peace and quiet; you simply sit in the water and relax as waves rhythmically fill the pool with a gentle fizz. Nearby you’ll also find an equally beautiful monument, Sugarloaf Rock – perhaps spend a couple of nights here, soaking it all in.

#2 Celeb Famous Brunch Spot

On Day Three (still in Margaret River), head straight to White Elephant. This beachside café has become an internationally-recognized Instagram star but locals come for something even more important: great coffee. Sit on the balcony and order one of the prettily-plated meals; several social media celebrities have been spotted ‘gramming the colourful smoothies, too.

#3 Experience The Largest Gathering of Wild Orcas

Get ready to spot the biggest known gathering of wild orcas in the Southern Hemisphere – this little-known natural phenomenon only occurs in one special spot, a further two hours along the Great South West Edge. Jump on board at the beach town of Bremer Bay on Day Eight and enjoy the cruise; this is one of few places on Earth you can see these special animals in such numbers.

#4 Spot The Kangaroos On The Beach

Kangaroos can be found at Lucky Bay (just near Esperance) on most days – so get ready to make some furry friends (and take some great shots). Lucky Bay has attracted some of the world’s biggest social media celebrities for its white sands, beautiful waters and those cute kangaroos. Don’t forget your camera.

#5 Pink Lake!

With its bright pink hue and striking juxtaposition against the ocean, the naturally-coloured Lake Hillier has been the subject of several viral videos, as well as a National Geographic inquiry and a feature on US Condé Nast. Found on Middle Island (just off the coast of Esperance), Lake Hillier is best seen from the air, where you can line up the classic Instagram shot: half pink, half blue; all beautiful.
