Adam Roebuck rated Blackwood River Tourist Drive a 5 out of 5
Much of Bridgetown's appeal as a tourist destination, centres on its landscape, climate and relative closeness to Perth. The town's rolling hills (vivid green in winter) are more reminiscent of a European landscape than what is normally associated with Australia. It is known as the Winter Capital of Western Australia and has cold, crisp winters which combined with open fires are simply irresistible to many but more importantly, it has a friendly nature with a wide array of food venues, historic architecture and nature trails.
