Its population is concentrated in its fertile southwest corner, home to the Margaret River wine region and the riverside capital, Perth.
The shire of Augusta & Margaret River covers an area of 2,243 square kilometres (866 sq mi) and had a population of over 14,000 at the 2016 Census, about half of whom live in the towns of Margaret River and Augusta. Nearly half of Augusta-Margaret River's land area is state forest or national park.
We have stayed at some terrific places over the years, like Empire Retreat, Basildene Manor and Hidden Valley Retreat.
