Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey takes me south from Perth exploring the south west coast, stopping in Busselton before heading down to Margaret River to do some wine tasting and explore Mammoth Cave before heading to Cape Leewin separating the Indian Ocean from the Southern Ocean. From there we return to Perth.
