Autumn is a lovely season, the morning air is crisp but it's still warm and sunny enough during the day to get outdoors. The leaves start to turn a charming golden brown and the nights start to close in and we know that winter is getting closer.
Autumn is a great chance to participate in the
Perth Autumn Festival that is held in the surrounding areas of the Swan River, the Perth Hills and the Swan Valley. Various activities will be taking place in the
Bassendean,
Bayswater,
Belmont,
Kalamunda,
Mundaring and
Swan council areas with seven events in seven weeks.
