Last Spring, my husband and I went to S&R Orchard to view their beautiful blossoms. It was a beautiful albeit chilly Spring day and we had so much fun wandering around the rows of different coloured blossoms. There was a fun, family vibe and lots of families with their picnic blankets out. This was the first time that we had done this in Perth and it reminded me of the cherry blossom madness that happens in Japan each year.
Although there were a lot of people around, my husband and I were able to take some beautiful pictures including one of my most favourite pictures of us together. After we’d exhausted ourselves taking pictures and wandering around the orchard, we headed back to the main entrance where all the food trucks were. The smells were delicious but we wanted to grab lunch elsewhere, so we picked up a delicious snack of the crispiest pork crackling on the way.
The S&R Orchard Blossom Festival is on again this year and runs from 8-16 September. There is an entrance fee for people 12 years old and over, and pets are welcome! If you have the time, I would definitely recommend going to experience something a bit different in Perth. My only tip is to go there early because street parking gets taken up very quickly!
