Stirling Cottage: Past and Present

Our journey begins with a scenic drive through Jarrahdale to Serpentine Dam, where we enjoy a relaxed Club 55 morning tea surrounded by forest and water views. We then continue through the picturesque towns of Pinjarra and Waroona to Harvey for lunch at the charming Stirling Cottage Kitchen.

Afterward, explore Stirling Cottage, a beautifully reconstructed 1850s homestead linked to Western Australia’s first Governor, Sir James Stirling, and later home to beloved author May Gibbs. Set within heritage gardens featuring a fountain, orchard, and secret garden, it offers plenty to discover. The day concludes in Mandurah, with time to enjoy the evolving waterfront, relaxed foreshore atmosphere, and perhaps an ice cream before heading home.

Lunch: Fish and Chips and Dessert
