Cape Grace Wines

Cape Grace Wines is one of the great little wineries of Margaret River. Family-owned and operated, located a stone's throw from the stars of the Wilyabrup Valley, lies Cape Grace's carefully tended vineyard, planted by Robert and Karen Karri-Davies in 1996. Small batch hand-crafted wines are made on-site, with all red wines hand-plunged and basket pressed. The cellar door is open daily, and you can meet Karen or one of the team and get some insights into the joys of being a small winemaker! Before entering the tasting room, enter through the wine storage area, which displays a selection of Robert's photographs and cameras. Annual production is 1500 dozen cases, and the wines include a dry Chenin Blanc, wood-aged Chardonnay, Cremant de Grace Sparkling Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Shiraz, Shiraz, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cane Cut Chenin Blanc Dessert Wine. Being a small producer the majority of wines are sold at the cellar door and website. During vintage, you may see some fermenting-action in the winery. If time is available you can tour the winery and get the wine-making process explained. Outside and adjacent to the cellar door is Robert's private collection of Australian parrots in a natural bush setting. The Great Egret, an occasional visitor to the dam, is featured on all Cape Grace Wines labels.

Wadandi Track

Natural Attractions

Wadandi Track, Margaret River

The track currently begins or ends (depending where you start) at Cowaramup and finishes at Witchcliffe. Passing though peppermint, jarrah and young karri forest the trail provides a firsthand view of the abundant bird life. The track offers the opportunity to experience the Margaret River region through its natural environment, Aboriginal heritage and the rich history of the industries and communities served by the railway from 1884 to 1957. Along the 5 kilometres north of Margaret River there are numerous bridges crossing a major river and creeks and streams of varying sizes. The trail is easy to navigate with picnic areas along the way. The spectacular birdlife includes yellow robins, parrots and blue wrens and the wildflowers are stunning in Spring (September to December). As it was a railway, the gradient is relatively flat, and the terrain is generally gentle. However, it can get moderate in some places and a mountain bike is recommended.

Wilyabrup Cliffs

Wilyabrup Cliffs stand 40 metres tall, are naturally stunning and offer spectacular views of the ocean and coastline. The north side of the cliffs bloom with wildflowers during spring and give you the chance to spot whales and dolphins. Or settle in and wait for a breathtaking sunset as you see the colours change in the cliffs. There is plenty to do on the Wilyabrup Cliffs - enjoy a discovery tour and be shown the sites safely. Take in the fresh air, hear the waves crashing and feel the strength of the sea breeze. Go abseiling and enjoy the heart pounding heights with the experts - starting at the bottom, you'll climb four routes on the wall, then hike up and abseil down, once, twice maybe three times if you're keen! There is an 8 day guided tour for those who want to really experience the region. If you like heights and want more of an adventure, jump onboard a helicopter and get a birds eye aerial view. Or perhaps, take on the whole 135 kilometre stretch of the coast and walk at your own pace on the Cape to Cape Track. Wilyabrup is a 3 hour drive south of Perth central business district.

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

Ellensbrook at Mokidup on Wadandi Noongar Country

Ellensbrook at Mokidup is nestled in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park in the lee of one of the most spectacular coastal dunes of the rugged, western-facing coastline of Wadandi Country. Mokidup has been a camping spot for the Wadandi for many thousands of years. The high sand dunes served as a vantage point for communication, a lookout for schooling fish and later, to scan the ocean for djanga (white spirits) on their ships. In 1857, Ellen and Alfred Bussell chose this as the location of their new home ‘Ellensbrook’. Ellen described it as “pretty hilly country by the sea where there is health in the breeze”. The Wadandi and the Bussell families had a joint appreciation for this landscape. Today, the shared stories of this place are told in collaboration with Wadandi Traditional Custodians. There was also a shared connection among women of both cultures, who played a major role in shaping this place. The waterfall and cave above the property are called Meekadariby and are very significant, particularly to Wadandi women. Ellen’s daughters, Fanny and Edith, lived here and managed the farm. From 1898 to 1917, Edith ran the ‘Ellensbrook Farm Home’ for Aboriginal children. Today, Wadandi artist Sandra Hill’s beautiful artworks greet visitors to the site. Ellensbrook at Mokidup is a registered Aboriginal heritage site and listed on Western Australia’s Register of Heritage Places.
