Event description

Write Your Story Among the Rolling Hills of Toodyay

Nestled in the heart of the Avon Valley, Toodyay is one of Western Australia's most charming historic towns, where weathered stone buildings tell stories of early settlers and the rolling wheatbelt stretches endlessly toward distant horizons. Just 90 minutes through the scenic Darling Scarp from Perth, this picturesque town transforms with each season - from winter's misty mornings that shroud the valley in ethereal light, to spring's wildflower carpets painting the hillsides in brilliant yellows and purples, summer's golden wheat fields rippling like an inland sea, and autumn's warm light casting everything in honey-colored hues. The Avon River meanders through ancient red gums and York gums, while heritage buildings like the old Gaol and Newcastle Gaol Museum anchor the town in rich storytelling tradition. It's a place where creativity flows as naturally as the river itself, where the vast sky and endless landscapes give stories room to breathe and writers space to dream.
