Perth Tours

Best Perth Tours & Day Trips

Sitting pretty on the banks of the Swan River, Perth lures travellers in search of pleasant weather, endless sandy beaches and a laid-back lifestyle. Western Australia ’s vibrant capital is incredibly remote (nearly 3 hours flight to Adelaide, the closest Aussie city) yet at the same time incredibly well connected (hello direct flights from London). But whether you are travelling from Melbourne or Milan, it’s hard not to be charmed by Perth and its sunny vibe.

Perth Day Tours & Trips

Spend a few days exploring this easy going and beautiful city, then discover Western Australia’s true beauty by travelling to the spectacular and remote destinations further afield. Head south to uncover wine country, towering Karri forests and pristine beaches lapped by crystal-clear water. Or take a trip north through the wild and dramatic landscapes of the Pilbara and the Kimberley. Whichever direction you choose, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience as you journey through some of the most spectacular scenery Australia has to offer.

From Perth there are plenty of day trips that take you to the stunning attractions just on the city’s doorstep. Meet the iconic and highly photogenic quokkas on a day trip to Rottnest , an idyllic car free island just 45 minutes off the WA coast. Or get some unusual photos of the Martian-like landscape of the Pinnacles on our Perth Tours . Wine lovers will relish a chance to taste some of Margaret River ’s world-class drops on a day trip from Perth, or head to the nearby Swan Valley on our half-day tour.

Multi-Day Trips from Perth, Western Australia

To explore the white sandy beaches, ancient Karri forests and lush countryside of the South West , join our 6 Day Esperance & Margaret River Camping Tour . You’ll sample the premier wines of the world class wine region of Margaret River, walk amongst the canopies of giant tingle trees, and spot kangaroos on the snow-white beaches of Cape Le Grand National Park. At night, bed down in swags to sleep under the stars and count satellites as they whizz by. To extend the journey to South Australia , pick our 10 Day Perth to Adelaide Tour and keep going all the way across the Nullarbor.

See why making the trip out to Australia’s Wild Wild West is truly worth it when you head up to explore the spectacular and unforgettable scenery of Western Australia’s northwest. Tours that head north of Perth journey into increasingly remote country, where the distances are unfathomable and the beauty indescribable until you have experienced it for yourself. Explore the Kalbarri National Park and see dolphins come right up to the shore on the 4 Day Monkey Mia Tour . Keep heading north to discover the underwater world of Ningaloo Reef , with the chance to swim with whale sharks, on the 7 Day Exmouth Tour . For the ultimate WA trip, the 10 Day Perth to Broome Tour will take you all the way to the northern pearling town and its famous Cable Beach.

Perth day tour destinations

Pinnacles desert tours.

The weird but wonderful formations of the Pinnacles are made from limestone and are contained within Nambung National Park. A major natural attraction in the Coral Coast, the park is located approximately 200kms north of Perth. The structures of which some stand as high as five metres, were formed 25,000 to 30,000 years ago after the ocean receded and left deposits of sea shells, gradually leaving the Pinnacles exposed to the elements.

Perth City tours

Perth enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other city in Australia and as such, locals very much enjoy a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. The city is nestled between the Swan River and Kings Park, one of the world’s largest inner city parks. Half an hour away from Perth’s city centre is the dynamic and colourful port city of Fremantle renowned for its arty and alternative types. You’ll simply fall in love with its charm.

Rottnest Island tours

Just a short ferry ride from Perth or Fremantle is West Australia’s island getaway. Be mesmerised by Rottnest Island’s pristine beaches and bays, stunning scenery and impressive marine life. Bicycles are the transportation of choice and can easily be hired to make your exploration even more of an adventure. You’ll have no trouble slipping into the relaxed environment of this island life. You may even find it difficult to leave.

Wave Rock tours

Imagine a giant surf wave of 14 metres high and 110 metres long about to crash in the outback … what a unique natural attraction! Aptly named Wave Rock, the ‘wave’ is located in the country town of Hyden and is composed of multi-coloured granite shaped over time by the gradual erosion of the softer rock below the upper edge. It is believed to be over 2,700 million years old.

Margaret River tours

Margaret River and the south west region of this sizeable Western Australian state will leave you yearning for more. Renowned for its brilliant surf, pristine beaches, exceptional wines, decadent food and remarkable caves, you’ll have a day of varied experiences and scenic delights.

Capital of Western Australia nestled on the edge of the Indian Ocean. See the sights of Perth and it’s trendy coastal neighbour Fremantle, visit the beautiful Margaret River region with its wineries and stunning coastline, visit the dramatic natural landscape of the Pinnacles Desert and Wave Rock or the subtropical paradise of Rottnest Island.

The best day trips from Perth

Perth’s buzzy boutiques and sunny beaches will draw you in, but eerie rock formations and furry island animals will have you exploring beyond the city.

  By Katrina Lobley

Western Australia  is Australia’s largest state, covering well over 2.5 million square kilometres (1.5 million square miles). Within this vast expanse lies unbelievable natural wonder, friendly wildlife and rolling hills blanketed in vines. Many of these beautiful destinations lie just hours from the capital of  Perth .

The Pinnacles

Did you know?

The Pinnacles aren't the only unique rock formations in Western Australia. Near Hyden, about four hours east of Perth, you can find Wave Rock .

Where:  250 kilometres (155 miles) north of Perth.

The stunning limestone formations known as the Pinnacles  are near Cervantes. A crayfishing town, Cervantes is the gateway to Nambung National Park , which contains the Pinnacles Loop – a four-kilometre (2.5-mile) road that can be driven or walked in about an hour. The Pinnacles Desert contains thousands of striking limestone pillars set against shifting golden sands. You might also see wild emus stalking among the spires. The park, with its otherworldly landscape, can be visited all year round, but there's a bonus in spring , when the wildflowers and wattles are in bloom. Visit at dawn to see the shadows cast by the unusual formations, or experience the eerie landscape at sunset, when the colours change with the moving sun. 

Avon Valley

PUBLIC Silo Trail, Merredin, Western Australia © Bewley Shaylor

Where:  a one- to two-hour drive from  Perth .

The vast Avon Valley  covers seven localities, from Beverley in the south to New Norcia in the north. Potter around quaint townships such as York, roam around in spring to see pretty wildflowers, delve into pioneer history and drive among rolling hills. To see the picturesque valley from above, take a ride with Windward Balloon Adventures , based in Northam. Arrive hungry in the benedictine community of New Norcia and sample artisan treats such as nut cake and breads baked in the monastery's century-old wood-fired oven. Quench your thirst with Abbey Ale, aged in the cellars beneath the monastery. If you have extra time, consider driving the PUBLIC Silo Trail to see intricate large-scale murals painted on towering grain silos.

Busselton lies in the north of the Margaret River region. Consider extending your stay to visit the area's beautiful beaches and taste its fine wines. 

Where:  just over 200 kilometres (138 miles) south of Perth.

You don't have to look hard to find the focal point at Busselton . Everything here revolves around the 1.8-kilometre (1.1-mile) long jetty . It's the world's longest wooden pier. Stroll along the jetty or take the cute, red, 50-seat train to the end, where there's an underwater observatory, accessed via a spiral stairway. You’ll even find an Australian first here: a dining experience eight metres (26 feet) below the ocean’s surface. As you wander along the jetty, keep an eye out for dolphins frolicking in Geographe Bay. From September to early December, migrating whales also use the bay to rest and nurse their young.

Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Western Australia © Tourism Western Australia

Where: a 30-minute drive from the city centre.

Fremantle  (known to locals as ‘Freo’), on Perth’s southern fringes, is a vibrant waterfront city with great beers, al fresco food and intriguing history. Try the craft brews on tap at the landmark heritage pub-brewery, The Sail & Anchor , located along a section of South Terrace known as the Cappuccino Strip, or stop into Fremantle’s local brewery, Little Creatures . Nearby you’ll also find the Fremantle Markets , open Friday to Sunday. 

Rockingham and Penguin Island

Dolphin swim experience with Rockingham Wild Encounters, Rockingham, Western Australia © Rockingham Wild Encounters

Where:  less than a one-hour drive south of Perth.

Rockingham  is known not only for its raw beauty but it’s incredible wild dolphin encounters. Every year from early September to early June, pods of dolphins come to play in the ocean bordering Rockingham, and you can join them in the water with Rockingham Wild Encounters . Board the boat in Rockingham before setting out into the clear waters in search of dolphins. After a group of dolphins is found, slip on your wetsuit and climb into the water in small groups. You’ll be led by an experienced crew member to swim along as the dolphins frolic around you. Rockingham Wild Encounters will also bring you to the nearby Penguin Island for a chance to spot wild penguins. 

Swim with Australia’s most exciting marine life

Swan Valley

Lancaster Wines, Swan Valley, Western Australia © Tourism Western Australia

Where:  a 25-minute drive north-east from the centre.

The Swan Valley  is Western Australia's oldest winemaking region. Explore the valley's wineries, renowned for world-class chenin blanc, verdelho, shiraz and petit verdot varieties that grow in a reliably warm and dry climate. Lancaster and Sandalford Wines are Swan Valley institutions, while boutique wineries like Ugly Duckling are also worth a taste. The valley is also home to microbreweries that produce beer, cider and ginger beer, and distilleries bottling everything from rum to pavlova-flavoured vodka. Take an all-day tour to experience not only the impeccable wine and spirits, but also chocolate, cheese and beer. Before you head back to Perth, visit Caversham Wildlife Park to meet some of Australia’s most adorable animals including kangaroos, wombats, koalas and echidnas.

Quokka, Rottnest Island, Western Australia © James Vodicka

Where:  a 90-minute ferry ride from Perth.

Rottnest Island  is famous for its population of quokkas - small, furry macropods known for their adorable smiles. Head over on a day-trip and cycle around the island, or spend the night there for the best chance of seeing the quokkas emerge mid- to late-afternoon to forage (there are free guided walks ); don’t forget to snap a few photos . You’ll also find stunning beaches and bays on this island; bring along a snorkel to explore straight from the sand.

As WA’s first inland European settlement, the town of York  offers a unique insight into WA’s settler history through its heritage precinct and well-preserved colonial architecture.

Head to the top of Mount Brown Lookout for sweeping views of the countryside, which is a carpeted in bright yellow canola fields around August and September, while in the York Bushland Garden you can see local wildflowers blooming in season.

11. Serpentine and Jarrahdale

Wineries, waterfalls and forest trails – if you don’t have time to drive to WA’s Southern Forests region, take a 60min drive south-east of Perth for a day in the Serpentine/Jarrahdale region.

Pack a picnic and spend a lazy day at Serpentine Falls in Serpentine National Park. If you have the time and energy, the walk trails through the park will reward you with some stunning scenery and views, including from the granite outcrop at Baldwins Bluff Trail.

Not far away, the small town of Jarrahdale has a rich history and even has a small museum in the old post office.

To feel like you really are ‘down south’, head to Millbrook Winery in Jarrahdale. Set on a chestnut farm with 20 stunning acres of vineyards and an award-winning restaurant, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported somewhere else entirely.

12. Mandurah

Once a popular seaside retreat for Perth locals, Mandurah tends to fall off the radar a bit these days as a daytrip option from Perth. But it’s taken a national award to remind us all just how much Mandurah has to offer.

In September 2023, Mandurah was named Australia’s Top Tourism Town as part of the Australian Tourism Industry Council’s ‘Top Tourism Town’ Awards. When you take a good look around, it’s not hard to see why.

Waterfront dining options range from fine dining to casual, with lots of options for fresh seafood.

With an estuary twice the size of Sydney Harbour, you could spend a lot of time just exploring Mandurah from the water.

And there are so many interesting ways to do just that. You can take a dolphin tour to meet the estuary’s resident dolphins, bring a crab scoop and find your own lunch in one of Mandurah’s famous crabbing spots. You can also dine out right on the water in one of the barbeque boats available for hire.

Mandurah has some excellent bike trails and if you don’t feel like bringing one, you can hire one once you’re there, with electric bikes also available for hire.

• Distance from Perth:  70km 1hr 5min drive
• When to visit:  Year-round

13. Swan Valley

An easy 35min trip from Perth, the Swan Valley has some of WA’s oldest grape vines and wrapped around them is an ever-growing array of restaurants, cafes, breweries, and gourmet food sellers offering everything from cheese and chocolate to olive oils.

But food and wine is only part of the story. In addition to the world-class wineries the region is famous for, the Swan Valley has so much to offer families too. Have a swing at the18-hole Supa golf course, or give mini golf a shot.

There are three different animal attractions, including Caversham Wildlife Park , the West Australian Reptile Park and the Swan Valley Cuddly Animal Farm .

For something a little different, Swan Valley Station incorporates a boutique nursery, coffee shop and picnic grounds where you can spread a rug or relax on the lawn in a beanbag. There’s also a lake stocked with silver perch, marron and yabbies where you can actually fish for the perch and take home your catch.

At the Maalinup Aboriginal Gallery , in addition to browsing local Aboriginal artworks and giftware, you can also sample bushtucker at one of the bushtucker talks and tastings, and buy produce made from bushtucker, including jams and relishes.

23 Ideas for the Best Day Trips from Perth

There is so much to see in Perth, but there are so many interesting and unique places to explore outside of Perth. Whether you are thinking of short road trips from Perth or a longer all day adventure, there’s something for everyone in this list. Let’s explore 23 ideas for great day trips around Perth. 

Table of Contents

Top Picks: The Best Perth Day Tours

Short on time? Here’s my recommendations for the best Perth day trips and tours.

• Explore the otherworldly desert full of towering limestone pinnacles
• Enjoy dinner in the desert
• Stargazing through a telescope

• Explore pristine bays and turquoise beaches
• Meet the cute quokkas
• Cycle around the island

Day Trip Perth Planning 

To make the most of your Perth one day trip, make sure you are organised before you depart. Some of these spots might get busy later on, so I prefer to get there early.

My day trips Perth essentials include plenty of water, picnic lunch and snacks, a hat and sunscreen and a great road trip playlist! 

You can do a self drive day trip from Perth basically all year round, but make sure you have adequate sun protection in summer and wet weather gear in winter.

Some of these spots may require a national park ticket. You can purchase these on entry to the park (make sure you have a physical debit or credit card for the machines), or buy a park pass beforehand. 

Park fees are currently $17 per vehicle (2024). Cheaper rates apply for concession card holders.

Buckle up, you’re all set for day drives from Perth now!

How to Get Around

Day trips from Perth by car are featured a lot on this list, as there isn’t public transport readily available. For most of these day trips, a car will be necessary to get to around. For each day trip, I’ve provided a suggestion for a tour that provides transport where possible.

If you need to hire a car, I recommend Discover Cars as they are a large aggregator that offers the best prices from all the big rental companies, plus they offer free cancellation.

The Pinnacles 

The Pinnacles are located within Nambung National Park, open all year round near the seaside town of Cervantes, 2 hours north of Perth.

The park contains thousands of limestone bright yellow Pinnacles in a desert that covers around 190 hectares.

If you’re interested in a self-drive itinerary, check out the perfect Perth to Pinnacles Road Trip .

Once you reach the Pinnacles, uou can drive or walk through the desert in the 4km loop. The loop is unsealed but suitable for 2WDs, with marked areas to pull over and get out to walk through the pinnacles. 

Make sure to visit the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre (open 9.30am – 4.30pm) to learn more about the fascinating geology and natural occurrences that led to the formation of the Pinnacles and the desert.

There are a few options for Perth day tours.

One of the most highly rated day tours from Perth is the Pinnacles Desert Sunset and Stargazing Tour , which reviewers have said is “one of the best excursions we chose while in Australia.”

On this tour, you’ll get to stop in Lancelin and try your hand at sandboarding. Your local guide will take you on a beach walk, showing you native plants used by the Aboriginal people as food and medicine.

Continuing on your adventure to the Pinnacles Desert, where you enjoy a BBQ dinner with a glass of Margaret River Wine in the middle of the desert as you wait for the sun to set over the Indian Ocean.

Then, its time for the main event… using a telescope and astro-binoculars to take in spectacular views of the starry night sky – a truly bucket list worthy experience!

There are so many things to do on Rottnest, so make sure you read my detailed guide on how to have a perfect day trip . Highlights include snorkelling, swimming and of course, seeing the adorable quokkas! 

When you book your ferry ticket, it includes a visitors fee for the island. You can also choose optional extras like bicycle hire (the main way to get around the car-free island) or a bus tour of the island.

Ferries depart from Perth CBD, the port town of Fremantle and Hillary’s Boat Harbour (30 minutes north of Perth). The easiest way to get to Rottnest is by catching the ferry from the Perth CBD, or Fremantle (you can get the train directly from Perth to Fremantle).

Swan Valley 

One of the shorter day trips in Perth, the Swan Valley is an iconic wine region 30 minutes away. With world class wineries, breweries, distilleries, artisan food merchant, handcrafted wares and endless dining options, the Swan Valley is one of Perth’s best day trips. 

Some of my favourite wineries in the Swan Valley are Mandoon Estate, Sandalford Estate and Lancaster. My pick for breweries in the area is Homestead Brewery (at Mandoon Estate) and Bailey Brewing Co.

Consider taking a tour to make the most of the day (and save someone from being the designated driver!). With options for half-day, full-day and even a boat cruise up the Swan River into the Swan Valley, there are options for everyone.

Penguin Island & Shoalwater Marine Park

Penguin Island is a small island located just off the coast of Rockingham, less than a 1 hour drive from Perth.

Accessible by a five minute ferry ride, the island is part of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Parks. As the name suggests, there are colonies of wild Little Penguins that inhabit the island.

You are unlikely to see one of the wild penguins during the day though! Instead, head into the Penguin Discovery Centre to see the Little Penguins up close. 

Penguin Island is open daily from mid September to early June. It is closed during the penguin breeding season (late June – early September).

Other things to do on the island include swimming, kayak tours and wildlife cruises.

Close to Perth is the historic town of York, one of my top picks for a short trip from Perth.

Located in the Wheatbelt Region, York is a small town renowned for its colonial architecture and heritage buildings.

When visiting York, be sure to explore Avon Terrace and the surrounding streets and admire the quaint historic buildings. Walk across the Suspension Bridge, taking in views across Avon River. 

Look for a new read at Barclay Books, browse homewares at Honey and Fig and check out some of the local museums in the area.

Black Diamond Lake

One of my favourite summer self-drive day trips from Perth will have you heading south to Black Diamond Lake . This popular swimming spot is located near the small town of Collie.

Known for its incredibly vivid blue water, this lake is busiest in the summer months and long weekends.

There are no facilities at Black Diamond, so make sure you bring all you need for the day with you, including camp chairs or picnic rug.

Make sure to visit the Northam Silo Art – there are two murals here. The bright and colourful work by HENSE is one of my favourites on the Public Silo Trail .

Araluen Botanic Gardens is a great spot for a family day out. The park is beautiful all year round, but especially in autumn and spring. In Autumn, the entire park turns shades of different burnt orange and red, while in spring over 150,000 tulips blossom to life.

The Springtime Tulip Festival runs from mid-August to the end of September.

Travel time: 40 mins Distance: 35 km Location: Perth Hills (east of Perth)

Yanchep 

A notable Perth day trip location as you can visit both the Yanchep National Park and Yanchep Lagoon. You could also combine this with a visit to Lancelin sand dunes in the morning, and exploring Yanchep on the way home in the afternoon.

Yanchep National Park is one of the best spots near Perth to see Australian wildlife.

There is a dedicated koala viewing area, and kangaroos are known to frequent the park grounds. The National Park is also home to Perth’s only public cave, the Crystal Cave. Park entrance fees apply at Yanchep National Park.

A half-day tour is available that includes transport from Perth. On this tour you’ll get to enjoy a bush walk, explore Crystal Cave and take in the wildlife sightings as you explore Yanchep National Park.

Head to the coast to swim and snorkel in the incredible Yanchep Lagoon. Protected by a large reef, this naturally formed lagoon is a great spot for the family to swim in.  

Travel time: 50 mins Distance: 55 km Location: North of Perth 

Fremantle 

There is so much to do and see in Fremantle that it’s worthy of a day trip in Perth. 

It wouldn’t be a trip to Fremantle without a visit to the Freo markets. The Fremantle Markets are a weekend market with specialty shops and gourmet food option. 

Most visitors to Fremantle should explore the Fremantle Prison , which is considered one of Perth’s main tourist attractions. Make sure you explore the Fremantle Esplanade, which includes the Instagrammable Ferris Wheel. From here, you could head to the iconic Little Creatures Brewery or Bathers Beach House for lunch. 

Enjoy a brew pub lunch at Little Creatures Brewery or join a behind-the-scenes brewery tour (including a guided beer tasting).

Museum lovers have no shortage of options, with the WA Maritime Museum and WA Shipwrecks Museum in the area. 

From August to November, you can join a luxury whale watching cruise from Fremantle and be part of the largest humpback whale migration in the world.

Travel time: 30 mins Distance: 20 km Location: South of Perth

Lesmurdie Falls

Lesmurdie Falls is one of Perth’s best waterfalls. It is located in Mundy Regional Park, and is best visited in winter or spring for guaranteed water flowing down the falls.

You can park at either the top of the waterfall and hike your way down to the base of the falls, or park near the bottom for a shorter hike. The longest hike is about 3km, so it isn’t too strenuous but the terrain can be rocky and steep in parts.

At the top of the falls is a lookout platform that offers a great view of the city skyline in the distance.

Travel time: 25 mins Distance: 20 km Location: Perth Hills

Lancelin 

The small seaside town of Lancelin is a great coastal day trip from Perth. Water sports lovers will have no shortage of things to do with the wave and wind creating ideal conditions for surfers.

The best thing to do in Lancelin is check out the incredible Lancelin sand dunes and have a go at sand boarding! You can hire sand boards when you get there from the base of the dunes, or book onto this fun and adventurous ATV and sandboarding tour .

Read more about Lancelin in my guide here .

Travel time: 1.5 hours Distance: 125 km Location: North of Perth

Jurien Bay 

An hour’s drive further north from Lancelin is Jurien Bay.

Jurien Bay is a popular day trip destination or weekend trip. Jurien Bay offers unique activities such as skydiving and swimming with sea lions. Enjoy the beautiful beaches, checking out both the old and new Jurien Bay jetties. More ideas for things to do in Jurien Bay can be found in my detailed guide .

10 minutes north of Jurien Bay you’ll find the sheltered Sandy Cape area, which offers swimming, snorkelling and even stand up paddle boarding.

Sandy Cape is a popular camping area, but can also be be visited as a day trip. 

Travel time: 2 hours 20 minutes Distance: 220 km Location: North of Perth

Bells Rapids

Bells Rapids is a popular picnic and bush walking spot located in Brigadoon in the Perth Hills. One of Perth’s most popular day trips, Bells Rapids is also dog friendly. 

Walk along the Avon River as you navigate the River Walk (2.5km) or Goat Walk (3km) trails.  

There is also a hidden waterfall in the area, which you can see from the Bells Lookout from Campersic Rd. 

Travel time: 45 minutes Distance: 35 km Location: Perth Hills (east of Perth)

Wave Rock 

Some might say Wave Rock isn’t really a day trip destination, but I’ve done it before! This is definitely a longer drive, but it do-able as a day trip if you plan it right. You can also stop here on the drive from Perth to Esperance .

Wave Rock is a natural landmark caused by millennia of wind, rain and erosion. It is truly an iconic and unique thing to see in Western Australia. In the area, you can also visit the Hippo Yawn rock and the salt lake, Lake Magic. 

When I did this as a day trip, we made sure to leave Perth around sunrise so we could be back before dark. Alternate between drivers and be prepared with a good podcast or playlist! 

Alternatively, consider joining a tour! This cultural tour takes you to both York and Wave Rock with a guide in one day.

Travel time: 3.5 hours  Distance: 330 km Location: Inland (east of Perth)

Busselton 

The seaside town of Busselton is worth a day trip or overnight weekend trip if time permits. 

The main attraction in town is the iconic Busselton Jetty. The second longest jetty in the world, the Busselton Jetty stands at 1.8 km long. Tickets are required to walk out along the Jetty ($4 Day Pass), or catch the Ferry train ($14 return per adult). 

Enjoy some of the many seaside restaurants and cafes located along the foreshore. My pick is the brewpub Shelter Busselton, with great beers and delicious food options. Rocky Ridge Brewing Co is another great casual option. 

Busselton is the gateway to the Margaret River Region, with many amazing wineries in the region. Otherwise head to the nearby Flametree Wines for a tasting. 

Alternatively, book onto a tour that takes you on a day trip to Margaret River. This tour takes you to Busselton Jetty, the famous Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse as well as a cave tour to Mammoth Cave.

It’s a long day trip, but you can rest on the coach ride and is good for those who are short on time, but still want to get a taste of the delights of the Margaret River Region. Click here for the full itinerary to see if this tour is right for you.

TRAVEL PLANNING RESOURCES My tried and tested recommendations to make your next trip easier

🛡️ Travel Insurance: For my fellow Aussies, I use CoverMore for domestic and overseas travel insurance and they've been great to deal with. Travel with peace of mind knowing you're covered for unexpected events, ensuring a worry-free journey.

🌐 Stay Connected: After trying an eSim for the first time when travelling Japan & Europe for over 4 months in 2023, I'm officially converted! Thanks to Airalo , gone are the days of needing to physically swap plastic sim cards every time you enter a new country. Stay connected wherever you go by easily and affordably purchasing an eSim for all your travel destinations.

🚗 Easy Car Rental : Enjoy hassle-free car rentals on DiscoverCars with a wide range of options, competitive prices, and excellent customer service. I often find it's cheaper than booking direct, and I can compare a large range of suppliers to make sure I'm getting the best price.

💱 Access Local Currency: I've been using Wise in my business and on my travels to save on currency exchange and it's been a game changer! Wise provide a transparent and cost-effective way to access and manage local currency, with minimal fees and the best exchange rates compared to the traditional travel cards which sneakily charge extra fees and usually give you a poor exchange rate. Find out more here .

Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose miss cut at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday

Change Text Size

Muirfield Village is putting up a fight at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, providing the tough conditions that host Jack Nicklaus loves.

Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose are among the big names who have succumbed to the challenge. They will miss the cut after struggling over the first two rounds.

Fowler shot 76-82 this week, while Rose shot 80-73. They were well outside the cut line, which was expected to fall at either 4- or 5- over par, when they finished their second rounds.

Rose and Fowler finished first and second, respectively, at the 2010 Memorial. It was Rose’s first PGA TOUR victory, and Fowler’s runner-up was part of his Rookie of the Year campaign. They have had plenty of success at Muirfield Village in the ensuing years but that did not continue this week.

Fowler also was runner-up in the 2017 Memorial and had finished in the top 15 in five of his last seven appearances here. Rose has finished in the top 10 in half of his 14 appearances at Muirfield Village before this week.

Fowler was 8-over par on his first seven holes Friday, making double bogeys on the par-4 second hole and the front nine’s two par 5s, Nos. 5 and 7. He made the turn in 9-over 45 and added a bogey at No. 10. Four consecutive pars preceded back-to-back birdies at Nos. 15 and 16, but he bogeyed his final two holes.

Fowler, who ended a four-year winless drought at last year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, is 108th in the FedExCup standings with just one top-25 in 2024.

Rose made just one birdie Thursday and closed his round with a triple-bogey 7 at the final hole. He bogeyed his final two holes Friday, playing Nos. 17 and 18 in a combined 6 over par.

Rose, the 2018 FedExCup champion, finished sixth at last month’s PGA Championship and entered this week ranked 69th in the FedExCup. The top 70 after the Wyndham Championship concludes Aug. 11 will qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs.
