Manjimup & Around: A Southwest WA Food & Nature Trail Day 1 — Cilantro's Kick things off with dinner at Cilantro's. Standouts: the Thai Green Curry and the barramundi — a great first taste of the region's dining scene. Day 2 — Truffle Hunting at Hound and Hunter Start the day with a truffle hunt departing from Hound and Hunter. Afterwards, refuel with their tasting platter and a truffle toastie — the perfect reward after a morning in the dirt with the dogs. Homeward Bound — Greenbushes & Gnomesville Break up the drive back to Perth with two very different stops: the Greenbushes lithium mine, one of the world's most significant hard-rock lithium deposits, followed by the whimsical, gnome-packed roundabout at Gnomesville.

#easytravelpost The Walpole–Nornalup drive strings together the Valley of the Giants Road, the Knoll Drive, and the Frankland River–Circular Pool loop, all inside Walpole-Nornalup NP on WA's South Coast Highway, 4.5 hrs from Perth. Park entry is 12 AUD/car (honesty box / Parks WA pass), the Tree Top Walk 6 AUD adult (600 m ramp, 40 m up), Ancient Empire boardwalk free once you've paid the car fee. Perth→Walpole sealed all the way, last fuel at Walpole town. I drove Perth→Walpole overnight at Manjimup, reached Valley of the Giants 07:30, paid 12 AUD car + 6 AUD tree-top. The moss hero is the red tingle (Eucalyptus jacksonii) buttress forest: Thuidium on the fluted tingle bark 1 cm thick, Dawsonia superba in the seep near Circular Pool 4 cm tall, 9°C in August, a western bristlebird, the Frankland River pewter-grey below the Knoll. I walked Ancient Empire first (mist still in the gullies 08:00), moss on the 400-yr tingle flange black-green, ate a 9 AUD Walpole bakery pie, then drove the Knoll summit for the 360° karri-tingle sea-view. Mistake: I did the Tree Top Walk at 13:00 in July — wind closed the upper ramp (sways 1 m in 40 km/h gusts); 08:00–10:00 calm window only. Another: the 12 AUD car fee is cash at the box, no card, no change for 50s — carry coins. Would you pay 18 AUD total for the Walpole tingle drive + Tree Top, or skip the ramp and do the free Ancient Empire + Knoll Drive for the same moss at ground level?

From June to August each year, Western Australia welcomes its annual black truffle season. This journey of terroir and flavor, from forest to table, attracts truffle enthusiasts from around the world to explore and savor its unique character. 【A Pilgrimage Site for Truffle Lovers】 📝 Highlights: Manjimup and Pemberton are the Southern Hemisphere's premier black truffle producing regions. Every winter, these forests become a pilgrimage site for truffle lovers. The truffles from here are exported to top restaurants in Asia, North America, and Europe, and also provide fresh ingredients for local Western Australian chefs and home cooks. 【A Treasure Hunt】 📝 Highlights: The truffle experience begins deep in the forest. At truffle farms, well-trained truffle-hunting dogs roam through oak forests, using their keen sense of smell to locate ripe truffles buried underground. Pushing aside fallen leaves and soil, the black truffles slowly reveal themselves, releasing an intense aroma. Many farms offer seasonal guided tours, taking visitors through the entire truffle process from root symbiosis to harvest. [Australian Truffle Traders] 📝 Highlights: This family-owned truffle farm in Manjimapu has been operating for over a decade. Visitors can follow hounds through hazel and oak trees, dig for truffles themselves, and learn about the art and science of truffle cultivation. An upgraded experience includes a truffle feast prepared by Chef David Coomer. [Truffle Hill] 📝 Highlights: As Manjimapu's first truffle plantation, this farm offers truffle hunting experiences, allowing visitors to dig for truffles by hand and enjoy a truffle-themed lunch in the restaurant, or sample estate wines and truffle products in the tasting room. [Coomer Truffles] ⏰ Dates: June to August 2026 📝 Highlights: Headed by renowned chef David Coomer, this venue offers bespoke small truffle hound experiences, perfect for travelers seeking a unique experience. 【Black Truffle Festival】 📝 Highlights: Held annually in late June, the Truffle Kerfuffle Festival is one of the world's most influential truffle festivals. Activities include truffle hunting experiences, a produce market, wine tastings, chef's tables, and limited-edition dinners. In 2026, the festival will expand to Perth, featuring a series of culinary events and collaborations throughout July. Come to Western Australia and embark on a delicious journey through black truffles!

#australiatrip The history park has a lot to offer for families, such a museum dedicated to electricity and timber, a huge playground. On top of that, there is a collection of well-preserved antique buildings dating back to the era of settlement, together with forestry and farming implements and vehicles. Everything is set up in an attractive outdoor museum setting. Highly recommended!
