The experience

The tour moves through three distinct zones of Western Australia's productive heartland, each one revealing a different layer of the region. You'll start at Heritage Listed Henton Cottage and the Australind Art Collective, then move into the wine country where you climb 62 steps up the Big Orange at one of the vineyards: nearly 50 acres planted with Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Geographe alternate wine trail connects family-run boutique wineries where you taste award-winning cheese and watch how it's made, a hands-on look at the artisan food production that defines this area.

The landscape shifts as you move through the day. Stirling Gardens holds lunch at Stirling Cottage Kitchen. Afterward, Harvey Dam Wall opens up for a walk around Gibbs Pool with its gardens, playground and amphitheatre. Cathedral Avenue is where you're most likely to see kangaroos in their natural setting. The Leschenault Estuary stop brings wildflowers into view, and the John Boyle O'Reilly trail offers a walk through the waterways that frame the region's character, not the manicured parks of the city, but the working landscape where dairy cows, orange trees and Jarrah forest sit alongside the attractions.

What's inside St Nicholas Church that makes it the smallest in Australia?

St Nicholas Church is the smallest church in Australia, and the tour includes a visit to see it in person at Australind. The exact dimensions and architectural details that earn it this distinction are part of the heritage stop on the day.

Can I bring my two-year-old on this tour?

Children are welcome from age 2, and infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, so the full day is accessible for families with young kids.

Do I get to taste the cheese and wine, or just see how they're made?

You taste award-winning cheese and see how it's made at the boutique wineries and cheese makers along the Geographe alternate wine trail, so it's both a demonstration and a tasting experience.

How long does the tour run, and does it leave time for anything else in Bunbury?

The tour runs for seven hours, which is a full day commitment but leaves the morning or evening free if you want to explore Bunbury itself before or after.

Will I see kangaroos, or is that not guaranteed?

Cathedral Avenue is where kangaroos are spotted on the tour, though wildlife sightings depend on the day and time. The estuary walk and the John Boyle O'Reilly trail are always included regardless.
