Swan Valley
One minute you’re in the city of Perth, surrounded by skyscrapers, the clickclack of commuter heels and the roar of motorway traffic. Hop in your car, head east and, 25 minutes later, you’re in another world: winding down quiet roads, a seemingly infinite landscape of lush, green vines before you. Roadside stalls sell fresh-picked produce: plum, juicy strawberries, fat figs and fiery red tomatoes, depending on the season. Signs point left and right to winery after winery – some sleek, some rustic – inviting you in to sample crisp, clean whites, full-bodied reds and the region’s famous fortifieds. And that’s just the start of the trail.
Welcome to the Swan Valley, home of the oldest vineyards in WA. Most of these vintage vines, the first of which were planted in 1830, are still family owned, run by descendants of pioneering viticulturists with generations of winemaking in their blood.
As a region, the Swan Valley is surprisingly compact. However, those embarking on this scenic loop, known as the Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail, generally take their merry time. After all there is more than just wine to swill. The area contains some of the finest restaurants in the state, as well as breweries, distilleries, art galleries, wildlife parks, and a slew of hands-on activities on offer. With so much to see and do, try and taste, you’ll be pressed for time. Don’t worry, WA’s oldest wine region isn’t going anywhere: as the sun sets on full bellies and wine-soaked lips, you can always come back for another round tomorrow. For more information on Swan Valley, please contact the Swan Valley Visitor Centre on 9379 9400 or visit www.swanvalley.com.au.

AST PERTHCOAST WELCOME to
Perth Coast The coastal region of Perth, with its picturesque beaches, is abundant in attractions. Visitors can relax and unwind, or take advantage of the cycling tracks and water sports on offer. FREMANTLE Fremantle is a vibrant coastal city with an eclectic mix of entertainment and cultural attractions. Just 30 minutes from the Perth CBD, the bustling and dynamic port city of Fremantle is one of the easiest cities in the world to explore by foot, bicycle or scooter, since all its leading attractions are in close proximity. Visitors will enjoy the Fremantle Tram Tour, which takes regular circuits around the city and includes informative commentary. Apart from the rich heritage, the brilliant culture and relaxed atmosphere of Fremantle attracts visitors from far and wide. Renowned for a vibrant mix of arty and alternative types, Fremantle is abuzz with the songs of buskers on sidewalks and a wild collection of art, lively restaurants, historical pubs and stylish microbreweries. Also not to be missed are the vibrant weekend markets, for all the freshest of fruit and veg as well as eclectic stalls and entertainment.
COTTESLOE Only 9kms from Fremantle and 12kms from Perth city, Cottesloe is one of the few beaches in Western Australia with ocean side cafĂŠs and pubs. The long stretch of bike path along the beach is perfect for cycling, jogging or just strolling along the coast of the Indian Ocean. Afterwards, grab a coffee or cold beer at one of the many bars and cafĂŠs that dot the waterfront. The wide grassy Cottesloe Esplanade offers shady spots for family picnics as well as concerts are held here. Some attractions to indulge in while in Cottesloe: The Historical Graves Walk Trail, Minim Cove in Stone Street, and Point Walter Point Walter Road.
SCARBOROUGH For teens and surfers, Scarborough Beach is a firm favourite. You can swim, surf, fish, people-watch, skate, cycle, sail, windsurf, kitesurf, shop, dine, go night clubbing, interact with the animals, get fit, hold a conference, explore or, because the beach is so long and vast, drop out, relax and sun bake in a peaceful Perth beach dune hollow away from the crowd. Beaches within walking distance of Scarborough Beach: Trigg Beach 1.4kms north with its island and rock pools, and Brighton Beach to the south.

Surf Life Savers are regularly on patrol at Scarborough Beach, ensuring the safety of the public.
ROTTNEST ISLAND Rottnest Island is Western Australia’s very own island getaway. Being a Class A Nature Reserve, public vehicles are not permitted on Rottnest Island. The conventional way to exploring is on a bike or, if riding is not your style, you can walk around or use the regular bus service. Transfers to the island operate from Barrack Street Jetty in Perth’s city centre, Victoria Quay in Fremantle, Rous Head in North Fremantle and Hillarys Boat Harbour in Perth’s north. There are plenty of activities to enjoy on the island such as fishing, boating, golfing, a family fun park and a wellness centre. The main Thomson Bay settlement area has several dining establishments where you can enjoy a good meal. There is a snorkel trail at Parker Point, marked with underwater interpretive plaques containing information about the marine environments surrounding Rottnest. The island is the southernmost point along the Western Australian coastline where coral can grow. Seasoned divers can explore the 13 submerged shipwrecks that slumber off the coast.
