FOODIE FAVES

11 MARGARET RIVER, WA

When it comes to food regions they don’t come much more fabled than the Margaret River, three hours from Perth.With delightful towns like Dunsborough, Busselton andYallingup to recommend it, the area could easily rest on its laurels as a sun-drenched summer holiday Mecca. But the stunning coastal scenery plays second fiddle to the food, wine, and boutique brews. With so much on offer, we ask a WA native, our art director Anita Jokovich, for some help:

DO Check out an exhibition at Yallingup’s The Studio Gallery and then enjoy a rosé in the accompanying bistro. thestudiogallery.com.au

SEE Swim in the lagoon at Yallingup Beach, or go for a surf at Smiths Beach; you can’t go wrong along this stunning coastline.

EAT The recently opened Yarri Restaurant is a must, courtesy of renowned chef Aaron Carr. yarri.com.au
