The Blackwood River Valley is the heart of food production in the south west.

Meander around three historic towns. Bridgetown, the winter capital of Western Australia; Nannup, one of the best preserved 1950s towns in the State; and Balingup, famous for its Medieval Festival held every August.

Every season brings a new look to the Valley. From March to May experience one of the five best places in Australia to see autumn colour as recognised by QANTAS; in winter (June to August) enjoy a log fire in one of the many accommodation venues; in spring (September to November) marvel at the wildflowers and in summer (December to February) see why the area is often called the Tuscany of the south west.

Stay a night or a few days and explore the farms, gardens, restaurants and forests. Enjoy all the Blackwood River Valley has to offer.
