Unanchor Blog: Heart of a Local Travel

Just south of South Australia's capital city of Adelaide is the McLaren Vale wine region. Bounded by nineteen miles of pristine coastline to the west and gently cradled by flowing, undulating hills to the east, the area swells with world-class food, wine, and charming townships.

Visiting Perth isn’t complete without a day trip out of the city. Most people head to the Swan Valley to soak up culinary and vineyard delights. But if nature and history is more your style, you can’t beat the Perth Hills. This itinerary follows one of WA’s few curvy roads, great for motorcyclists and drivers alike, linking the towns of Mundaring and Kalamunda via the Mundaring Weir and a hidden wine region.
