Traveling to Western Australia

The following information details how to get to Augusta Margaret River Region in Western Australia.

Melbourne VIC to Busselton WA

Melbourne to Busselton flights are operated by Jetstar only, and this direct route will be offered three times per week from March 2020.

The Jetstar Melbourne to Busselton flights will be the first time travellers can fly directly into the gateway of the Margaret River, rather than having to make the three-hour drive south upon arriving in Perth.

Sydney NSW to Busselton WA

Last year, flights commenced between Melbourne and Busselton Margaret River making it easier for Victorians to visit Australia’s South West and immerse themselves in the food, wine, experiences, and beaches that make the region one of the best tourism regions in the world. Jetstar has now launched a new route to the region, flying direct from Sydney to Busselton.

The flights commence on 26 March 2024 with flights operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. After 1 April 2024, the Tuesday flight will change to a Monday flight. The flights, operated by an Airbus A320, will be the only direct service connecting Sydney with Busselton Margaret River, making the journey from the harbour city just about five hours.
