November is that sweet spot in spring, before summer heats up, perfect for picnics under the gums, cellar door tastings, garden open days, and a walk in nature. Start with an early-morning coffee, wander a local market for fresh produce and artisan finds, then lace up for a bushwalk or book a leisurely vineyard lunch. From weekend festivals and live music to new menus, and moments in nature, there’s so much to experience in the Perth Hills this spring.
Here’s our round up of things to experience in the Perth Hills this November.
