Margaret River made me: The Gene Hardy story

Gene Hardy counts himself as one of the luckiest men alive. Born and bred in Margaret River, his childhood was spent out in the bush or on the beach, chasing fish, or waves, or his two brothers.
“It was a magical way to spend your childhood. Just the bush and no boundaries. It felt like it was endless.” It’s this same magic that he is now recreating with his own family, wife Sunny and their two daughters.
After years travelling Australia and the world as a surfing journalist, Gene gave up a great job opportunity in Cornwall to come home to Margaret River. Realising he could make a living out of his passion for nature, he started Cape to Cape Explorer Tours, giving visitors the opportunity to share in his love for the region. For Gene, the ultimate goal is to take care of all the practicalities of a trip so that people have the headspace to truly enjoy the beauty of the area.
“What the Cape to Cape Track has got is all this texture, and all these corners, and all this diversity. It has this look that you don’t see anywhere else.”
Explore the beauty of the Cape to Cape Track and some of the most diverse scenery on offer with a trip between Perth and Margaret River.
