Great Southern is one of Australia's largest wine regions, stretching along the southern coast of Western Australia. It stretches for 150 km from the eastern boundary of Manjimup (in the west) to the Pallinup River in the east, where the more grain-filled expanses of Central Western Australia begin. The Northern boundary of the region Lies almost perfectly on the 34th parallel, while the coastline marks the southern boundary - a distance of about 100 km (62 miles), north to south.
The Great Southern comprises five sub-regions, reflecting Western Australia's emphasis on provenance and Terroir.
Frankland River borders Manjimup to the northwest, and Mount Barker to the east - the latter forming the central area of the region. Albany borders Mount Barker to the south, around the coastal town that gives it its name, while Porongurup lies to the east of Mount Barker. Denmark follows the coastline west of Albany, almost to the western border of the region.
Soils vary accordingly, as one would expect in such a large area.
