WHAT'S AROUND:
You will be staying right in the middle of The Chittering Valley Wine Trail - there are four excellent wineries within 5 km of the Edge of the World (White Dog Farm, Stringybark Restaurant & Winery, Western Range Winery and Kyotmunga Estate). Stringybark (in walking distance) has a lovely restaurant while the others provide wine and olive tastings from the cellar doors. Wildflowers are magnificent in spring and there are plenty of walk trails in the valley. Golden Grove orchard is just down the road (10 min) for Devonshire teas and fresh fruit, orchard tours and other activities for the kids. The Maze/Outback Splash is a 15 minute drive away and offers timber, hedge and pine mazes and a wildlife park and also the newly opened Water Fun Park – fantastic fun for the kids. Bullsbrook, Bindoon, Gingin and Toodyay are a little further but within easy reach. More details about the Local Arts & Crafts (eg Bindoon Arts & Crafts, Canterbury Crafts), the Chittering Museum and the Chittering Valley Sculpture Trail are available on the Chittering Tourist Association website. Also check the website of the Gravity Discovery Centre in Gingin. For trips a little further afield you can try New Norcia for the monastery and bakery (45 mins), Lancelin for 4WDing and sandboarding in the dunes (just over 1 hr), and The Pinnacles (just over 2 hrs). And of course on your way back to Perth is the beautiful Swan Valley. Events to keep an eye out for are the Bindoon wildflower festival in September, Bindoon Show in October, the Taste of Chittering weekend in September, seasonal monthly markets and much more.
