Armadale
Located only 30 minutes south east of the CBD, nestled amongst scenic parks, undulating hills and picturesque valleys of the Darling Scarp, with cultural heritage and unique community feel - is the modern City of Armadale - providing a wonderful gateway to the HARVEST HIGHWAY.
The lure of breathtaking bushland, babbling streams, nature walks and heritage attractions make Armadale special. Armadale is significant in the state’s history. This is quite evident when you see the number of heritage sites or visit one of the historical museums that are situated in the region. Step back in time and experience the lifestyle from a more sedate era.
Armadale sits in the foothills of the Darling Scarp and for those who love bush walks, or just exploring our native bushlands, there are plenty of opportunities to 'get back to nature' or perhaps, in season, to search for a patch of wildflowers. Local Bushwalking Booklets are available at the Armadale Visitor Centre, at 40 Jull Street, Armadale. Do pop in and discover lots more that there is to do around the Armadale region.
Armadale marks the beginning of rural living. So many people have chosen to take a ‘tree change’ and move to the Armadale where they can enjoy "City living - Country style", experimenting with the sustainable living lifestyle that a lot of Aussies aspire to. These farms are focussed on producing organic foods or perhaps unusual foods and still others are concentrating on value adding to the locally produced primary products. Take a look around and see if you can find farm gate sales where you can sample and buy locally produced fresh foods at reasonable prices. Armadale features one of Perth’s largest orchard growing regions where you can drop into local orchards and sample fresh fruit straight from the trees.
In contrast to all of this- you have the shopping facilities that are offered in Armadale, from large department stores through to boutique style shops in which you are sure to find that perfect something for that special person in your life.
Hospitals, Doctors, medical and banking facilities are available throughout the area.
Armadale boasts lovely open spaces that just invite you and your family to indulge in a picnic, take a slow stroll, or even just sit and enjoy watching the world go by.
Armadale hosts a variety of festivals and events throughout the year, each capitalising on the atmosphere and lifestyle enjoyed by those who live in this area. Details of these festivals are on the City of Armadale Web Site www.armadale.wa.gov.au .
