Planes, Wine and Whales 从中国到西澳大利亚：航班、美酒与鲸鱼
Western Australia is now closer than ever for travellers from China. Year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Perth follow the extension of China Southern Airlines’ nonstop service. Operating several times each week, these flights significantly improve travel convenience. As a result, visitors can reach the state’s spectacular southwest coastline with greater ease and confidence.
From Perth, travellers can explore world-class marine wildlife experiences while also discovering renowned wine regions and dramatic ocean landscapes. With flexible travel options available, the journey suits a wide range of travel styles. For example, options include car hire, chauffeured transport and fully escorted tours. Consequently, Western Australia’s iconic whale watching regions are now more accessible than ever.
Getting from Perth to the South West 从珀斯前往西澳大利亚西南部
After arriving at Perth Airport, visitors can continue south by road. Many travellers choose to hire a car and enjoy a scenic self-drive through the South West. Alternatively, others prefer a chaperoned journey or an organised transport service. Importantly, the South West of Western Australia is well connected by sealed highways, making travel simple and reliable. Along the way, sweeping coastal views, tall forests and charming regional towns combine to create an unforgettable road trip experience.

Augusta Whale Watching Season – Whales and Wine 奥古斯塔观鲸季——鲸鱼与美酒之旅
The Augusta whale watching season runs from late May to early August. Augusta is located approximately 320 kilometres south of Perth Airport, with the drive usually taking between three and a half and four hours. During this journey, travellers pass through the heart of the South West. Along the route, many choose to stop in Bunbury or visit the iconic Busselton Jetty. From there, the road continues south into the celebrated Margaret River Wine Region.
Naturaliste Charters operates whale watching tours from Augusta during the annual whale migration. At this time, humpback whales and southern right whales move through the sheltered waters of Flinders Bay. Notably, whales often travel close to shore during this period. As a result, calves are frequently sighted alongside their mothers. In addition, dolphins, seals and seabirds are commonly observed throughout the season.
On land, Augusta serves as the southern gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region. Visitors can enjoy award-winning wineries set among rolling vineyards and dramatic coastline. Nearby limestone caves, including Jewel Cave, are easily explored. Meanwhile, kangaroos are often seen grazing in surrounding bushland. At the southern tip, Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse marks the meeting point of the Southern and Indian Oceans.
