CHITTERING VALLEY WINE TRAIL GUIDE
© Roland Ott 2008 - 2009
Below the Nightcruiser Crew have compiled a
comprehensive Guide to the Chittering Valley, one of
the States best kept secrets, for your
assistance.
The
Nightcruisers are busy providing their popular
Wine Tours,
Hens
Arvos,
Bucks
Days,
Birthdays
and many more tours
to Perth's premier wine and food destination and
Western Australia's oldest wine growing region,
situated just over 1 hour from Perth City.
In the heart of the
Chittering Valley citrus and wine growing area, there
is plenty of activities. You can also indulge the
tastebuds at orchards, honey farms and bakeries -
Apricot Acres Farm is one of several places where
fresh produce is for sale.
Nature lovers will adore Bullsbrook and its six mazes,
located within a tranquil park setting. Here you can
mingle with delightful Australian fauna like koalas,
kangaroos and emus and enjoy picnics and barbecues.

Estate is located on an elevated site overlooking the

offers one of the most spectacular views in the Chittering
Valley. It is also adjacent to the Kyotmunga walk trail.
The name Kyotmunga was chosen because of its historical
significance as the first recorded place name in the
Chittering area (explorer George Fletcher Moore in 1836).
Their property was originally a citrus orchard but is now
planted with three hectares of wine grapes and 200 olive
trees.
As well as their own wines, they offer their own extra
virgin olive oil, olives, dukkah and citrus fruit in
season.
The owners operate the cellar door and offer Nightcruiser
Patrons a unique experience as they are happy to discuss
the process of grape growing and wine production.

PICNIC GROUNDS |

Visitor
Centre - The
shady gazebo and picnic tables, next to the Information
Centre, are ideal if you've just bought food from the shops
opposite and want somewhere to eat. Clean toilets and
drinking water available.
Photo
Clune Park - Just north
of Bindoon town site on the Great Northern Highway and only
a short distance from the shops. This is the place to stop
if you want to give the children a break on the modern
skill-testing swings, monkey bars and other physical
challenges. Well maintained toilets, gardens and plenty of
space. A skate park and Rotunda have recently been
constructed. BBQ's available.
Spoonbill Lake - Get
away from the traffic and spot the birdlife at this
creek-fed lake in Upper Chittering. Wood and black ducks,
dabchicks and waders can usually be seen. Turn off the Great
Northern Highway at Hart Drive. There is easy access to the
grassed waters edge for 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Blackboy Ridge - Plenty
of tables and some grand walks around, up and over this 64
hectare reserve, rich in wildflowers and views across the
Brockman River flats. Winter creeks make this pristine,
tree-clad hideaway on the Chittering Road a special place
for young and old.
Julimar Lookout - If
you're taking the forest road to or from Toodyay, this is
the place to absorb the splendid scenery you've encountered,
or about to savour. Turn off the Julimar Road near the
junction with the Chittering Road, where you'll also find
picnic tables by the river. It is well signposted. |
