Augusta

It is the nearest town to Cape Leeuwin, on the farthest south-west corner of the Australian continent. It is within the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River Local Government area, and is in the Leeuwin Ward. It is connected by public transport to Perth via Transwa coach service SW1.

Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park mainly on the ridge to the west of the town.

Augusta was a stopping place on the Busselton to Flinders Bay Branch Railway, which was government run from the 1920s to the 1950s. Prior to that M. C. Davies had a timber railway system that went to both Hamelin Bay and Flinders Bay jetties in the 1890s.

Augusta was a summer holiday town for many during most of the twentieth century, but late in the 1990s many people chose to retire to the region for the cooler weather. As a consequence of this and rising land values in the Augusta Margaret River area, the region has experienced significant social change.
