A region of green rolling hills, golden farmlands, babbling brooks and historic country towns full of character and yesteryear charm in the heart of Western Australia.
Visit the vintage towns of Beverley, Goomalling, Northam, Toodyay and York, all within a 30-minute drive of each other, and immerse yourself in each place’s heritage and stories.
On most weekends you’ll find a bustling country or farmers market in action within the Avon Valley.
It’s a great opportunity to sample some fresh produce, chat to the locals, or take home a local craft souvenir.
One of WA’s best-kept secrets, the historic stone and mud-brick dwelling of Slater Homestead can be found just outside Goomalling and is a mustsee location. Relax and watch the local birds whilst taking in the surrounds, then bask in the ambience of Mary’s Tearoom whilst enjoying homemade classic cakes and Devonshire Tea.
The Avon Valley provides an exquisite range of wildflowers to discover, with dedicated wildflower trails dotted across the region. Beverley is home to two new trails at Brooking Street Reserve showcasing over 12 native orchid species including the hybrid pink fairy and cowslip orchid.
The Avon Valley is renowned for its gorgeous scenery, and what better way to see it it than a hot-air ballooning experience in Northam. Enjoy a spectacular sunrise flight, taking in the majestic sights of the valley in the early morning light. In winter you can experience a foggy, mystical sunrise, with golden canola coming to life during spring.
The Avon Valley region is perfect for both a day trip or a longer jaunt where you can easily explore historic Beverley, Northam, Goomalling, Toodyay and York on a self-drive getaway.
We’ve done the legwork and have mapped out an epic three-night itinerary just for you. Sit back, strap in and start the car – it’s time to hit the road for the ultimate Avon Valley road trip.
