This tiny community (pop. 576) is the heart of Western Australia’s apple and pear-growing region, where you can pick your own fruit in season, sample artisanal ciders at local cellar doors, and dine at rustic farm-to-table restaurants. The surrounding Bickley Valley and Araluen Botanic Park offer stunning wildflower displays in spring, while the Bibbulmun Track provides gentle bushwalking through jarrah forests. Pickering Brook is also a gateway to the nearby Mundaring Weir and the historic Railway Reserves Heritage Trail. Despite its rural feel, the area is surprisingly accessible, with daily bus services to Midland and Perth. Accommodation ranges from cozy farm stays to self-contained cottages, making it a perfect base for exploring the Perth Hills.
