What do you love about Your Margaret River Region? Driving back from somewhere I have been, crossing the Margaret River bridge and recognising what a gorgeous place we live in. Our landscape is quilted with world class raw coastal views, farms, food, wine, beer, art, flora, fauna, caves, surfing, fishing, I could go on! But best of all within minutes I am waving hello or stopping on the street to “have a chat” with someone in my community. Home!
