Just 15 minutes from Bunbury, and a two hour drive from Perth, the Ferguson Valley region is a scenically attractive landscape of rolling hills, streams, pastures, vineyards and forests.

The area encompasses a largely rural hinterland of lush farmlands, forests and rivers with wineries, boutique breweries, small-scale accommodation, restaurants and cafes, art galleries and local artisans and nature-based attractions.

There are bushland walking trails through the Wellington Discovery Forest and Crooked Brook Forest, while the Mt Lennard area is renowned for its mountain bike trails.

Far up the Ferguson Valley is the quirky Gnomesville, a free, open-air attraction populated (mysteriously) by gnomes from around Australia and the world. From humble beginnings 14 years ago with just a single gnome placed by the roadside by a local resident to watch over new roadwork’s, Gnomesville has now developed into a whole village of some 3,000 garden gnomes of all shapes, sizes and characters.

Placed there by locals and visitors from all over the world, the gnomes are said to bring good luck to those who leave one there; while those who damage or hurt them are liable to have bad luck follow them. The resident gnomes have some wry names, too (Greg Gnoman, Gnome on the Range, Astrognome, Gnome Alone, Gnome-de-Plume, Gnoman Empire Soldier and so on.

The Ferguson Valley region is a popular day-trip from Perth or Bunbury, with overnight accommodation limited to farm-stays, bed and breakfasts and luxury lodges.
