Bridgetown
One of the most picturesque towns in Western Australia, Bridgetown sits against a backdrop of the beautiful Blackwood River Valley and oozes old-world country charm. It also serves a taste of the good life in generous portions, with wineries, delicious fresh produce, arts, and crafts and stunningly scenic drives.
You can escape the city to this quiet country life in three hours by road and wake up to valleys filled with morning mist and tranquil forests.
The centre of a thriving timber, mining and farming district, Bridgetown is a prolific producer of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and olives, not to mention wine and cider. You can indulge in some of its flavours in the region's cafes, restaurants, cellar doors and cidery.
Many artists are drawn to the area, finding inspiration in the Blackwood River Valley landscapes and exhibiting their work in local galleries.
Action and adventure are in abundance, with a network of canoeing/kayaking, walking, mountain biking and bridle trails to choose from.
The town also hosts many events, including the ever-popular Blues at Bridgetown Festival, attracting world-class musicians and large crowds to the region every November.
