Just an hour from Perth, the Shire of Gingin proves it is more than just a name repeated, from boutique wines and blooming wildflowers to goat’s cheese, botanic gardens, and gravity-defying science, this vibrant slice of Western Australia is full of surprises for every kind of explorer.

  • Just over an hour north of Perth, Gingin is one of the closest country escapes from the city.
  • Siverina Estate produces boutique wines in a Barossa-like microclimate and has planted two hectares of native wildflowers for commercial use.
  • The Local Goat offers fresh, handcrafted goat’s cheese and is quickly becoming a foodie favourite.
  • Granville Park and Limestone Park are peaceful green spaces with picnic areas, a botanical garden, and an aviary, ideal for families.
  • The Gravity Discovery Centre features stargazing, interactive science exhibits, and Indigenous sky stories, all set in biodiverse bushland.
  • The Jim Gordon VC Trail and preserved heritage buildings share stories from Gingin’s rich local and military history.
