Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Perth International Airport - 36kms
Our house / property is located in a rural area east of the City of Perth by approximately 60kms. The immediate local area is sparsely populated with larger rural properties 50-200 acres / 20-90 hectares, typically small farms / agricultural lifestyle properties growing olives, grapes, various crops and of course animals comprising mainly sheep, cows and horses.
We are located at the end of our road which is approximately 2kms long with 7 neighbours / other properties on our road. Our property adjoins a large 10,000 acre privately owned property and a wildlife sanctuary (Paruna Nature Reserve) with the Avon Valley National Park immediacy beyond.
The closest shops / amenities are a short 10 minute drive away comprising the Gidgegannup townsite which includes a small convenience store, fuel, bakery, grocer and a pub / restaurant a few kms beyond Gidgegannup at the picturesque Noble Falls area comprising walks and BBQ area.
A must see/do is to visit Paruna sanctuary who run both day and night guided walks (seasonal) through the bush to explore and discover the local wildlife.
