We’re knee deep into autumn in the Perth Hills! This month is packed with Easter events, school holiday fun, and many reasons to explore our nature filled region. Cooler days and cosy nights are coming – whether you’re in the mood for an egg-cellent Easter event, wandering a bushland trail, finding peace or discovering a new café. From mouthwatering foodie news, to events, and even an accessible guided walk series, April is “full as a goog” with new things to do!
We’ve rounded up all the exciting new things to experience in the Perth Hills this month.
GIDGEGANNUP
Celebrate Easter in Gidge! We’re sure you’ll be following your nose to the Gidgegannup Bakery, for fresh-out-of-the-oven hot cross buns. While you’re there, why not hop on over to the Noble Falls Tavern on Easter Day for a day filled with fun for the whole family. Kids can enjoy face painting from 12-3pm, plus there will be live music from 1to4pm, tasty food, and of course, chocolate! Get more information here.
MUNDARING
The Mundaring region is home to ANOTHER new café – Silky Froth! The Mounties locals are stoked Silky Froth has brought caffeine back to Mount Helena. Their friendly baristas are serving up silky coffees, specialty brews and homemade cabinet treats – tasty toasties, healthy wraps, delicious cakes and more. The sweet café is opposite both the Pioneer Park playground and the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail – making it a perfect spot for a babycino date or cycling break. Get more information here.
