Just like its landscapes, the Great Southern’s farm-to-fork experiences are truly unique. At Manjimup’s Truffle Hill, wander through hazel and oak forest for a treasure hunt with a difference: unearthing prized truffles (also known as ‘black diamonds’) from ancient soils. In Denmark, settle in for seasonal fare at The Dam, Raintree Estate’s paddock-to-plate restaurant.

Craving a quiet nature retreat? Stay in an off-grid cabin overlooking towering Karri trees and the emerald coastline of William Bay National Park, and suddenly your inbox won’t feel quite so important. Set on Denmark’s Raintree Estate, Heyscape gives you unique access to this pocket of Western Australia through a collection of modern, eco-friendly cabins. Soak in an alfresco bathtub, gaze up at a sky full of stars, and indulge in the melt-in-your-mouth wagyu steak from your gourmet dinner box.

Mingle at the market
Mingle at the market
From black truffles to juicy fruits and pure honey, the Great Southern’s produce is too good not to celebrate. Luckily, the locals agree. Bring your own bag to Collie Street for the Albany Farmer’s Market (held every Saturday from 8 am to 12 pm) to meet the region’s growers, taste their produce and support local family-run businesses. More than just a market, this community-led event is just as much about the people behind the produce as what’s in your bag.
