Is there anything better than the feeling of plunging into a refreshing, rock-lined river pool surrounded by towering trees? 🍃
Rediscover your adventurous spirit. Venture somewhere you can wash away your worries, and simply feel young, free and #WildAtHeart. 💚
#Dwellingup. @westernaustralia’s Top Small Tourism Town. Only 90 minutes from @destinationperth.
Jump on board the @hothamvalleyrailway Forest Train for a journey along @westernaustralia’s last surviving lightly built developmental railway. 🚂
Different from the Steam Ranger, the Forest Train is operated by V Class Diesel Locomotives built in the late 1940's. Full of heritage spirit and open carriages so you can truly immerse in the breathtaking scenery. 🌿
Just like 'Thomas The Tank Engine' there is a train for every purpose in #Dwellingup! Jump on board for a #WildAtHeart adventure, certain to earn some major brownie points from the train lover in your life! ❤️
📸 Thanks to @lisajane_van for the snap!
Swing life away under a canopy of the old growth forest. 🌳
Feel that summer warmth on your skin, laying back and listening to the serene sounds of leaves rustling in the breeze. ☀️
Refresh with a quick dip in the river, and just enjoy spectacular scenery within Lane Poole Reserve. 🌳
This is the #WildAtHeart hammock life; and @magnus.a_photography has it mastered. 💚
Start the weekend soaking in the country air, picking fresh raspberries from the orchards at @vergonesfruitstall. 🧺
There’s nothing quite like farm fresh produce! Raspberries lovingly grown to perfection; the ideal balance of sweet and tart, ready to be handpicked and shared with the family (or not 😉). 💗
The must-knows❗️ Raspberry picking is only available from 8am – 10am on Saturday and Sunday. $15 per adult, which includes entry and a 500gm container for you to fill with farm-fresh #raspberries.

Follow the Track along Murray River through the picturesque valley, beneath the beautiful old growth forests with expansive views over undulating farmland. 🌳
Choose a walk to suit your adventurous spirit - enjoy a day walk and picnic at a typical track campsite, stroll along the banks of the Murray River or experience an overnight #camping adventure. ⛺️

@carahollyorchard in spring is incredible! They’re having another epic Orchard Market Open Day on Sunday. Let the kids be #WildatHeart, run through the expanse of the orchard, feed the cows, jump onboard a tractor ride and indulge in the tasty homegrown goodness of fresh fruit and veg, @melaleukafarmmerchants gourmet meat, honey, wood-fired pizza with markets galore and an interactive kid’s play space by @murray_forrest_friends. 🍎
Continue on through to @visitpinjarra and get your chilli on at the @ravenswoodhotel Chilli Festival! Catch live music, market stalls, chilli eating competitions, plus a special spicy menu and the “jerk off” jerky tasting and judging competition (non-spicy food is also available for order 😊). Entry is free, the beer is cold, the pub grub is as good as it gets and the scenic location overlooking the pristine Murray River is tough to beat. 🔥
All full days adventure, only 1 hour from @destinationperth, and 20 minutes from @visitmandurah.
