Western Australia Road Trip (4/4)
My flight back to Singapore was in a few days time so me and my friends decided that we would go on a very short day trip to the Swan Valley.
The Swan Valley is mainly known for their wine/alcohol production and based on experience they are fantastic! (of course we had a sober sister as our driver!)
Our first stop was Morish nuts. If you have attended any events in Perth, Moorish nuts will be the store that you always see. In the factory, we got to try nuts and nougats of interesting flavours as well as see how they are made.
* take note that they have a specific time where they start making the candies.
Our second stop was the house of Honey. There are a wide variety of honey products as well as flavoured honeys inside. The staff was very friendly and approachable and allowed us to try various flavours of honeys. Within the shop there is even a colony of bees 😮😮😮
Opposite the house of Honey is a really beautiful yellow flower field you can take pictures in and take pictures of!!!
from here on, we went to experience wine/spirit tasting. unfortunately I think I was too high to remember to take any pictures of the places we go but here’s a list:
- Old Young’s
- Ugly Duckling
- Coward and Black
- Margret River Chocolate Factory (Swan Valley)
yes. as you can see, we love chocolate factories.
The only hiccup we had along the way was since the cheese barrel have closed down, we went to another cheese shop… I’m not going to expose the name but it’s pretty rundown… it’s the only cheese shop you can find in the Swan valley… Yeah I wouldn’t recommend going there… BUT, I still bought some good cheese home to support the place.
now I have shared my experience, it’s time for you to define your own experience!

Perth | Fabulous Coffee Roaster in Swan Valley
The Swan Valley vineyard area is popular for locals and tourists visiting Perth. However a good coffee is equally important to start the day.
The valley is about 30 minutes drive from Perth city center. In the spring and summer days, it is best to get there early to avoid the afternoon heat and having breakfast there is a perfect way to start the day.
Not far into the valley is a great roaster called Koffee Works .
As soon as you walk in to the roaster , you will smell the wonderful scent all around. Koffee Works is not only a coffee place , it also runs classes about beans, and have free coffee tastings.

Curious Traveller
Perth's leisurely time.
Perth is the capital of Western Australia and the fourth largest city in Australia. Many people call Perth the loneliest capital in the world. Speaking of Perth, we have to mention the black swan. Perth is a gathering place for black swans, known as the "Black Swan City". Many attractions in this city are named after swans.
Our starting and ending point for the trip to Western Australia is Perth, and we will be driving the entire way. We will pick up and return the car at Perth Airport. The main time for sightseeing in Perth is the first and last day, with the main attractions in the city center being relatively concentrated. We will use the scattered time on the first and last day to visit Elizabeth Quay, Swan Bell Tower, and the University of Western Australia, and we will also go to Swan Valley in the suburbs.
📍Elizabeth Port
Elizabeth Quay is a gathering area for Perth's landmark buildings. The Elizabeth Quay Bridge spans the Swan River, which divides Perth into two parts. St. George's Terrace on the north bank of the river is a concentration of Perth's financial and government institutions, known as the "office street". The Hay Street Mall, north of St. George's Terrace, is Perth's commercial district.
There is a cycling path along the Swan River, and many locals like to ride along the river in their leisure time. They love this kind of life and love Perth like this. The most environmentally friendly way to travel in Perth is by cycling along the Swan River.
📍Swan Bell Tower
The Swan Bell Tower is a landmark building in Perth, located on Barrack Street along the Swan River and not far from Elizabeth Quay. The design of the tower is related to swans, with wing-like structures on both sides resembling swan wings. If you have enough time, you can climb to the top of the tower, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city skyline and the Swan River. There is a large bell on the top floor of the tower, and visitors can also experience ringing the bell.
📍University of Western Australia
The University of Western Australia is located on the banks of the Swan River, boasting beautiful river views and is known as one of the most beautiful universities in Australia. The University of Western Australia blends naturally with the surrounding scenery, as if it is situated in a huge garden.
Visitors are rare at the University of Western Australia, walking in the campus full of green plants is even more relaxing and comfortable. The scene of students sitting on the ground in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, makes people inadvertently miss campus life. Wandering aimlessly on campus, one can spend an afternoon with just a cup of coffee and a book.
📍Swan Valley
Swan Valley is about a 25-minute drive from Perth. It is one of Australia's famous wine regions and also the largest vineyard and wine producing area in Perth. It is a good place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of pastoral poetry, but also taste fine wine.
We drove around Swan Valley and saw neat rows of grapevines on both sides of the road, showcasing the appearance of a wine region. We aimlessly wandered near a vineyard and stumbled upon a farm shed selling different varieties of grapes that had just been picked. The prices were very cheap, and since we were at a vineyard, how could we not buy grapes? The freshly picked grapes were indeed delicious, to the point where for the next few days, we wanted to buy grapes whenever we saw them in the supermarket, but unfortunately, we couldn't find that same taste.
In Western Australia, shops and restaurants close early, and in small towns even earlier. Many shops close at 5 o'clock. We found a restaurant that was still open nearby. The exterior looked ordinary, but the interior decoration was quite clever.
This is an Italian restaurant. For Mr. Lin, who has difficulty making choices, ordering Italian food is not a problem. He always orders the must-have pizza and pasta. 📮[Travel Tips]
▪️We drove ourselves throughout our trip in Western Australia, but public transportation is convenient within the Perth city area. You can choose to take public transportation when exploring the city, and the Swan Bell Tower is located near Elizabeth Quay, within walking distance.
▪️Swan Valley is a bit far from Perth city center, it is recommended to drive there.

Swan Valley is a famous wine region near Perth. It is a 25-minute drive from Perth city centre. There are more than 40 wineries in Swan Valley. On weekends, it is the best destination for leisure and holiday. Get together, sit on the grass, chat, and taste the wines of a wine estate, accompanied by delicious pizza, do not have a flavor.
Swan Valley, with different scenery and different cuisines in different seasons, it has become the first choice for locals to spend their free time.
