The Timeless Avon Valley
Nov 27 2008
Inland on a comfortable drive east of Perth, the beautiful gay welcoming Avon Valley is a patchwork of green, rolling hills, babbling brooks, historical villages and country charm.
The Avon Valley region was the first inland settlement in Western Australia and is the perfect destination for exploring quaint village streets, pottering through craft shops and museums, picnicking on the banks of the Avon River, hot air ballooning at dawn or setting out on bush walks.
The gay traveller will also find that the Valley is also host to a fantastic range of festivals and events the whole year round which make great excuses to visit. There are countless gay welcoming cafes and restaurants showcasing the fine food and wines grown and produced within the Avon Valley and some charming accommodation where you can relax and enjoy the warm country hospitality.
Visiting the vintage towns of Northam, Toodyay, York, Goomalling, Beverley and Brookton by road is a great way to explore the charming Avon Valley region and all of the towns are only a 30 minute drive from each other.
