A common loop around the Southwest is to start from Perth, and take the Albany Highway through Mount Barker to Albany, this is an reasonable half-day drive. You can then return via the coast, seeing the trees and wineries in Pemberton (Western Australia), before travelling back via the Margaret River, Busselton, Bunbury, and back up through Mandurah to Perth. If doing this loop, it is unusual to allow more than a day for the trip to Albany, as the road is featureless and the towns are small. Allow much more time in Albany, and for the return trip. The roads are slower, and there are many stopping opportunities, beaches, sights and diversions of the roads for parks and walks.
