Augusta Getaways offers you the chance to visit this well kept secret by organising your holiday accommodation, in privately owned holiday homes from the beach shack - with the ocean at your doorstep - to an island hideaway. You'll be awestruck by Augusta's outstanding natural beauty... Be it the rugged coastline of Cape Leeuwin or the expanse of Flinders Bay and the sheltered tranquility of the Blackwood River and Hardy Inlet. From June through to September, Augusta is alive with whale song. Protected from the north-westerly wind by Cape Leeuwin, the gentle conditions on Flinders Bay make it perfect for whale watching. For those who just want to laze around and relax you will have a choice from some of the most beautiful, unspoilt beaches in the world. Or even enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Blackwood River on Miss Flinders. Tour the Leeuwin Lighthouse and the many caves in the area, see the glittering Jewel Cave or the many reflections in the Lake Cave. For the more adventurous a morning kayak alongside the local dolphins, is a truly memorable experience. If windsurfing is your thing then the tranquil river is perfect for beginners, while Flinders Bay will challenge the experts. Explore the dive trails of our coastline, including underwater caves, numerous wrecks and fascinating marine life. You are sure to enjoy the pristine waters of the region if you like to fish. The Blackwood River is renowned for its bream, herring and whiting. Out in the bay there are dhufish and snapper and many other species to test your skills. We can't forget the iconic Cape to Cape Walk Track. The track runs for 135 km along the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge between the lighthouses of Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin. It features spectacular coastal and forest scenery, a fascinating geology and history, and wonderful wildflowers in spring. Augusta is a must for all travellers! |
