Location Description
Bridgetown is in the South West area of Western Australia -located 267 kilometres from Perth. A pretty historic town, cradled in a valley of romantic morning mists, stretching over the Blackwood River Valley and lush forests.
Bridgetown spreads across many hills and valleys, constantly surprising visitors with its beautiful views. The magnificent Blackwood River, the longest river in the South West, meanders through the Blackwood River Valley, which throughout the year plays host to the Blackwood Classic 250 Power Dinghy Race and other events.
The quality loam and gravel soils of the area have in more recent times attracted folk into the wine growing industry, where the boutique type wines produced in the South West are increasingly sought after overseas. Apart from wines, new olive groves are being established in this ideal Mediterranean climate.
