These areas of stunning natural beauty offer a treasure trove of attractions and activities all within a 45 minute drive from the city of Perth. Or you may choose to set out from the city on a boat cruise to the Swan Valley on the tranquil waters of the Swan River as it meanders its way through the valley. While in the Swan Valley be sure to indulge yourself on the 32km Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail. More than 80 vineyards and a glorious selection of restaurants make up this trip to tastebud heaven. Historical Guildford is just the shot for pottering through antique stores while all throughout the Swan Valley you’ll find an excellent selection of art and craft galleries and shops. Or what about heading out on one of the dozens of bush trails in the Perth Hills and Darling Range, which wind their way through acre upon acre of forest and natural bush and national parks? You can set out on the world famous Bibbulmun Track from its starting point in the Hills, or try the Munda Biddi Bike Trail – a wonderful way to exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature. The glorious Chittering Valley combines picturesque countryside with wineries, scenic drives and masses of wildflowers in season, or step back in time in Heritage Country around Armadale, where you can relive the colourful days of the past at a selection of fascinating museums. Heritage Country is also home to the exquisitely beautiful Araluen Botanic Park – the perfect place to retreat to the tranquillity of nature.
