Beverly is one of Western Australia’s oldest settlements. This rural heritage town in the wheat-sheep belt sits on the banks of the Avon River, surrounded by tranquil rolling hills, pastures and native bushland.
Take a two hour drive east of Perth, through picturesque farmland, paddocks and forests and be transported back in time.
Stroll down the main street and admire the variety of heritage architectural styles. Visit the Dead Finish Museum (open from March to November), which chronicles the early settler history of the town.
Six kilometres west of town, Avondale Discovery Farm invites you to take in one of the largest collections of farm machinery in Western Australia, or drive around the farm to learn about a host of agricultural activities. It’s all free and you might meet the resident kangaroos and emus too.
Beverly is also the ideal base from which to explore the surrounding countryside and towns, from York to Northam to Avon Valley National Park. Select from a range of accommodation, including bed and breakfasts, hotels and authentic farm stays – the perfect way to immerse yourself in the rural experience.
Beverley has a new brand “Be very you” which is showcased in the new website and visitor booklet. An online version of the booklet is available through the website.
