Dunsborough is a small town located 140 miles (225km) south of Perth and hosts HMAS Swan which was sank here as an artificial reef.

Dunsborough enjoys a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine and very little rainfall during the summer and the majority coming during the winter. During the summer months (Dec to Jan) temperatures range between 18°C - 30°C with temperatures dropping in winter (Jun to Jul) to  9°C - 17°C.

September to December

Generally most people visit the area between September and November during the spring and from March to May during the autumn. Generally the water visibility is best from September to December, hence we would recommend a spring holiday here.

The main attraction in the area is the HMAS Swan, which was sank just off the shore as an artificial reef.

18°C to 22°C (63°F to 71°F)  

Approximately 3 hours drive from Perth.

This small town overs the basic amenities to any tourist.

Other than the HMAS Swan, there are not many other dive sites in the area that are worth remarking on.
