Question 4

Recommended itinerary

Accepted Answer

Please note this is the recommended itinerary, you can update it with your crew.
 
Day 01 Dunsborough/Eagle Bay
 
Meet in the morning to load up the Share Bus, meet your trip mates and do a big food shop for the next few days. 
Its a day for beautiful beaches. Head to Busselton to see the longest wooden jetty in the world. Afterwards drive to Dunsborough and Eagle Bay regions, stopping to see all the amazing beaches in the region on the way. They must be among the best in the world. Make sure you grab an ice cream at Simmos in Dunsborough as well.
 
Day 02/03 Margaret River and Hamelin Bay
See any of the beaches you didn't manage to the day before, then check out Margaret River region known for it's food, wine and surfing. Go to a few cheeky wine/cheese/chocolate tastings, and check out surfer's point. Do a side trip to Hamelin Bay as well. Stingrays come right up to the beach here, and you can even pat them.
 
Day 04 Pemberton
Pemberton has an incredibly beautiful forest and is filled with GIANT trees. You can climb to the top several giant trees such as the Gloucester tree which is 58m high. A little bit scary, but amazing. Go for a walk in this region, you could perhaps hike some of the Bibbulmun track
Day 05 Walpole & Denmark
Check out the beautiful forests and tall trees of Walpole before heading into the hippy town of Denmark. Walpole is famous for the Giant tree top walk, however there are also other free walks you could do to enjoy the region. Once in Denmark visit the inlet here Ocean Beach to surf, or Greens Pool to chill. Definitely check out the Elephant Rocks as well. The bakery here is also popular with Aussies.
Day 06 Albany 
Spend a day in the town of Albany. Remember to stock up on your food! Visit the natural sights nearby and perhaps make a trip to hike up Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges, which is the only place in Western Australia that sometimes receives snow (not that there will be snow in November!)
 
Day 07 Fitzgerald River National Park
Fitzgerald River is a large National Park located between Albany and Esperance.  It has swimming beaches, fishing beaches, rocky sea cliffs, calm inlets, both steep and easy hikes, unique vegetations, and diverse landscapes
 
Day 08/09 Esperance and Cape Le Grand 
Esperance is the place where all the beautiful photos of incredibly white beaches and kangaroos are taken. Make sure you go to Lucky Bay for this experience, and maybe hike up Frenchman's peak. 
 
In the afternoon of Day 9, start driving towards Wave Rock
Day 10 Wave Rock to Perth
Check out 'Wave Rock' in Hyden as well as nearby Hippos Yawn Loop, Hyden Rock and the breakers. Then start your drive back to Perth. If you find you're ahead of schedule stop by Black Diamond Lake, a few hours south-east of Perth. Its a beautiful blue lake and local treasure. 
 
Finish your day in Perth, clean/tidy the bus and trailer and enjoy an included night in the hostel.
